Lore

• Phaëton was the son of the sun-god Apollo and the sea nymph Clymene. Challenged by his playmates to prove his divine heritage, Phaëton asked his father for some proof of his relationship to the sun. When Apollo promised to grant him whatever he wanted, Phaëton insisted on being allowed to drive the sun chariot for a day. When the day came, the fierce horses that drew the chariot felt that it was empty because of the lack of the sun-god's weight, and went out of control. Terrified, Phaëton dropped the reins. The horses veered from their course, scorching the earth, burning the vegetation, changing much of Africa into desert, drying up rivers and lakes and shrinking the sea. Earth cried out to Zeus, who, to prevent further disaster, was forced to intervene by striking Phaëton with a lightning bolt. Like a falling star, Phaëton plunged blazing into the river Eridanos.

• The robes of this set are embroidered with Greek lettering to evoke Phaëton's memory.
