So he quickly lost control. As a consequence, the sun began to get too close to the earth. In order to save the earth Zeus, king of the ancient Greek gods, threw a thunderbolt at Phaethon and killed him.
He wished to ride his father Helios' flaming chariot across the sky. Helios was very reluctant, but finally gave in to his son's demand.
