@@noahroangoldwing Well in some variations I read of this myth, Helios did care for Phaethon a lot. I read some versions that Helios was a god who cares very much for his children (like Ares is actually a good father to his many kids), and was saddened about his son’s death and vow to never let another ride his chariot again especially if another of his children asked.
I like how I get to learn different stories from Greek mythology because there are some stories I haven’t heard of before and this is a new one for me.
Ok two complaints: First of all you kept switching between Apollo and Helios being the kid’s father and while they are both connected to the Sun they are NOT the same being. Helios is the guy who drives the fireball across the heavens. Apollo is just a god of light and inspiration which causes people to confuse the two since the sun is the primary SOURCE of light we see in our day to day lives. Apollo however is a god of ANY sort of light whether that be the light of inspiration or just the light coming off a camp fire or other light source. Edit: Whoops seems I’m not immune to mixing the Greek gods up either! Seems Apollo and Helios both lost sons to Zeus bolts (in Apollo’s case it was his son Aesculapius) but Apollo was the one who killed the Cyclopses in revenge for fashioning Zeus thunderbolts, not Helios!
Nope. They are two different Clymenes, although both were Oceanids. No ancient source mentions that Phaethon is related to the sons of Iapetus. Iapetus's wife is the older of the two (actually one of the older Oceanids), and is also called Asia.
Phaeton wanted to prove he really was a demigod, no one in his home town believed him, he could have just asked Helios to claim him, but he decided to instead do the not so smart thing and nearly roasted the mortal world
It didn't happen exactly like that. Phaethon wanted to make his father proud but Zeus noticing that Phaethon made a part of the earth burn to the ground he sent a lightning bolt on Phaethon. And also it was due to a bet between Zeus, Ares, Dionysus and Poseidon
@@spottedslash4256 Zeus is the supreme ruler of the universe. He doesn't inform the others in advance what he needs to do (all the more so that he couldn't waste time on Phaeton's case, otherwise the world would be destroyed).
oh, she's a goddess who is portrayed as either a woman with three heads or a woman with three distinctive personalities Hecate has three forms, each symbolizing a stage in the life cycle of women, she is first a maiden with great imagination and curiosity, she then matures into a mother who seeks to give life to children and bring them into the world and protect them from all harm, finally, she becomes a crone that has lived a full life and is now looking back at the crossroads to see if she could have made better choices in the past
What if when he killed him the chariot just crashed and the grazed across the land causing even more damage. Zues wasn't very bright was he. Also if the horses returned to helios that means they knew the way. They went lower knowing they weren't supposed too. Dam...
@@fmaximo1979 my point still stands. You mean to say that these horses knew to go back to their master without causing more harm to the earth but they still didnt follow the correct path when phaeton loosened the reigns. Also what made zeus think the horses wouldn't just go hay wire now that no one is controlling them those were my two points sorry if it wast clear
@@nameihavenoname7546 No matter how well trained a horse is, if two or more are hitched to a charriot and without a steady driver handling them, they will not follow the correct course. And them going back to Helios, even if they didn't do more damage to the world, it doesn't mean they did it correctly, as Helios also determines their running speed. Or do you want creatures with no human intellect to be "trained enough" to pull the Sun through eternity with no one to command them, no driver? Can you stop to think about the nonsense you are saying? It's the Sun, not a toy wagon!
It is unfortunate that Greece has abandoned its Ancient Greek Religion and has become a Christian Missionary Nation. The Ancient Greek Civilization has lost forever. Across the World all Civilizations fell victim to Christianity and Islam. Thankfully, Hinduism the oldest Civilization on Planet Earth still exists today in India and some other countries. I hope that one day people of Greece follow their own Ancient Greek Religion just like Hindus practice Hinduism in India.
The ancient Greek religion never ceased to exist, although the number of its followers has been severely diminished over the last two millennia thanks to the persecution of Christians and Muslims. Today it has flourished again under the name of Hellenism, with adherents all over the world, but its main organizations are in Greece, where, after many years of legal battle, they have achieved recognition as an authentic religion by the Greek government, which is manipulated by the orthodox christian church.
Lessons of the gods in various myths... Don't be an arrogant arsehole who thinks you can do it all, know it all, be all. Been done in Greek/Roman myths, Abarahamic myths (Judeo-Christian/Islamic), heck even the Norse acknowledges that their gods are fallable and will die in Ragnarok.

I can definitely imagine Helios would probably be traumatized by losing his own son like that.
He’s a god. He has many offspring. 1 isn’t a huge loss.

@@noahroangoldwingI think it is safe to assume that Helios was quite upset even if he did have numerous offs
Some version said he passed his job to Apollo after this incident.
@@noahroangoldwing llll lol

Wait I thought Apollo killed the cyclops
@@animeboys7698yeah your right, sorry. Ironically I also am apparently guilty of mixing them up! Lol
Exactly! Finally someone who knows the differences between these Two!
I really enjoy your Greek Mythology content,thank you 😊
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
Seriously, really Phaethon should keep his eyes open and stay focus without getting hurt. That was dangers and great story of Helios son (Phaethon).
Zeus always has to be the one to fix everything, even when it isn't his fault
At the same time hes the one who causes it lol
This is the equivalent of letting your smart Alec kid drive your Porsche. Still, that's very tragic
i've heard that some of the nymphs crying over his dead body became willow trees. i adore Greek mythology ☺
Great job with another fantastic video. Will you be making A video on Heracles ?
fun fact phaethon mother was clymene who was also the mother of atlas, menetious, prometheus and epimetheus
Well many say Asia was the wife of Iapetus
Nope. They are two different Clymenes, although both were Oceanids. No ancient source mentions that Phaethon is related to the sons of Iapetus.
Iapetus's wife is the older of the two (actually one of the older Oceanids), and is also called Asia.
Phaethon created sahara because a guy laughed at him 😂
Phaethon caused too much damage and zeus killed him to prevent him from causing more damage 💀
I think Helios's design is a little over the top, the fire hair reminds me of Disney 's Hades.
Wait, wait. Helios and Apollo wasn't one person in Greek mythology. So why you call him with both these names?
The Young Man Who Dared to Ride the Solar Chariot.
Tell me that is not the coolest title you've ever heard.
Nice video very interesting
Got to know where your limits are. When such important tasks are to be done, pride and duty must come first lest the consequences leave scars.
Do a video about Helios, Apollo and Hyacinthos ^^
I wish Aurora design would be more iridescent🌌
All Helios had to do was join with his son.
I wonder if it was because the Chariot can't fit two people.
@@yoyoip2946 He could have transformed into an animal. Gods can do that.
@@CameronKiesser
Yeah, he should have transformed into a bird and follow his son.
@@yoyoip2946Helios was irresponsible
See what happens when you get too cocky 🤔
Phaeton wanted to prove he really was a demigod, no one in his home town believed him, he could have just asked Helios to claim him, but he decided to instead do the not so smart thing and nearly roasted the mortal world

Aurora looks pretty wearing that toga outfit
Icarus - Cool story, bro.
Which one is it Apollo or Helios
Intersting...😱
The foolish boy that wanted to pull the sun
Awesome and cool! :D
I'd read that Apollo himself accidentally created the Sahara desert, when he left his chariot parked there for too long.
When will there be a video talking about after the Trojan war about the odyssey and what happened to the survivors of Troy?
Helios, God or Titan of the Sun
Apollo, God of Light
Very interesting ❤️
And along csme Zeus he hurled his thunderbolt 🎵🎶
Boasting isn't a nice thing to do. Please do the Odyssey, I wanna hear the story of Odysseus' return
Helios probably holds a grudge agents Zeus and Poseidon for brutally murdering his sun
To be fair there wasn't much they could so, less the Sun killed everyone
Yep you know that could be it Lol
The Fact they didn't talk to Helio's about it BEFORE killing his son is questionable.
@@spottedslash4256 Zeus is the supreme ruler of the universe. He doesn't inform the others in advance what he needs to do (all the more so that he couldn't waste time on Phaeton's case, otherwise the world would be destroyed).
They need to update the system
heracules did rode his chariot during his labor
😁I hope idea for greek mythology Hecate goddess of witchcraft and moon🧙♀️🌒🌕🌘
oh, she's a goddess who is portrayed as either a woman with three heads or a woman with three distinctive personalities
Hecate has three forms, each symbolizing a stage in the life cycle of women, she is first a maiden with great imagination and curiosity, she then matures into a mother who seeks to give life to children and bring them into the world and protect them from all harm, finally, she becomes a crone that has lived a full life and is now looking back at the crossroads to see if she could have made better choices in the past
Now that is one fun fact
The Strong💪 Sun☀️ is alone too, but still it shines🌅🌄 to clear the evil dirty darkness(blackness) & without Sun☀️, there's no life on Earth🌎.
blackness? Seriously dude?
Either I'm going to burst in to flames or become them 🤔
I love Helios sad he was replaced by apollo
Dude, the population was so huge… where was the sewers emptied into?
Corinthian canal? Now what?
He wasn't forklift certified 😁
This is how the science term Photon exist. BTW, any story about one and only legit son of Heracles, Hyllus?
Actually both names (photon and Phaethon) come from the same root (not one from the other): "phaos", the Greek word for light.
Version Italian?
Is it Apollo or Helios son
He is Helio's son
Why Zeus killed him? When he died it was more dangerous for the sun chariot to collide with earth!!!
I love Helios sad he was replaced by Apollo
😲😲😲

The video illustrations are incorrect. The lightning hit only Phaeton, while the chariot was taken by the horses to Helios.
