Phaëton
In Greek mythology, Phaëton or Phaethon was the son of Apollo and the Oceanid Clymene. Alternate, less common genealogies make him a son of Clymenus by Merope, of Helios and Rhode or of Helios and Prote. Phaëton's best friend and lover was Cycnus, the king of Liguria. He was the son of both Clymene and Apollo. He did not believe he was the true son of Apollo because Epaphus, Zeus' son, told him so. Perhaps the most famous version of the myth is given us through Ovid in his Metamorphoses. Phaeton seeks assurance that his mother, Clymenē, is telling the truth that his father is the sun god Helios. When Phaeton obtains his father's promise to drive the sun chariot as proof, he fails to control it and the Earth is in danger of burning up when Phaeton is killed by a thunderbolt from Zeus to prevent further disaster. The name "Phaëton", which means "shining", is also an epithet of Eosphoros, the Morning Star Venus. Phaethon is also the name of another minor Greek deity, the god of the wandering star Dios, represented by the planet Jupiter.
