The Tragic Story of Phaethon
Phaethon is the son of Phoebus. Phaethon’s friends doubted his divine origin, “You are not the son of the gods. You do not have godly powers. Your tale is not true. “Phaethon moved with great anger, “I am the son of the gods! Phoebus, give them a sign!” called Phaethon. Phoebus listened to his boy and without delay flew down from the heavens. “Oh my son, what do you desire?”Phoebus inquired. “Money? Wisdom? Life without anxiety?” Phaethon answered, “I desire to strap reins and drive the chariot of the son.” Oh, foolish boy! Evil is your counsel. You ought not to desire godly service. Phoebus warned his son, but the boy did not know the great danger on his life. The horse was powerful; Phaethon had no power. A chariot without a true master wanders in the heavens. What do we see? Phaethon falls down from the heavens. Oh, misfortune!
