I can definitely imagine Helios would probably be traumatized by losing his own son like that.

@@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.

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.

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

​@@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.
