Phaethon was the son of the Oceanid Clymene and the solar deity Helios in Greek mythology. His name was also used by the Ancient Greeks as an alternative name for the planet Jupiter, the motions and cycles of which were personified in poetry and myth.

Phaeton was the son of Helios, the Sun god, in Greek mythology; in Roman mythology his father was Phoebus. The Sun god promised Phaeton that he would grant whatever he asked, and he requested to be allowed to drive the Sun's chariot for one day.

According to the ancient myths, the Sun was put in a chariot and everyday God Helios would drive the chariot all along the sky. Phaethon was the son the god Helios who secretely took the chariot one day to drive it. However, as he was young and inexperienced, he lost control of the horses and got killed.

In some versions, the Earth first froze when the horses climbed too high, but when the chariot then scorched the Earth by swinging too near, Zeus decided to prevent disaster by striking it down with a thunderbolt. Phaethon fell to earth and was killed in the process.
