PHAETHON

Phaethon is a greek demigod (like Archilles) who is the son of Helios and Klymene. Paethon begged and pleaded his father the sun god (Helios)if he could ride the sun chariot and he finally got the chance. He enjoyed it. But he soon got out of control and set a fire in the plains of African desert. When Zues saw the destruction he caused, so he threw a thunder bolt that made him fall to his death.
