He wished to ride his father Helios' flaming chariot across the sky.
Helios was very reluctant, but finally gave in to his son's demand.
The results were devastating: Phaethon was unable to control
the fiery horses and the chariot caused a panic among the constellations and then came to close to the earth, setting whole lands on fire.
Finally, to prevent even more destruction, Zeus blasted Phaethon
with a thunderbolt.

Phaethon and Epaphus were fighting due to a dispute over Phaethon’s claim about his divine lineage. Phaethon, the son of Helios, boasted about his father’s identity, which Epaphus, the son of Zeus, challenged. Their argument escalated, leading Phaethon to seek proof of his heritage by asking Helios to let him drive the sun chariot, ultimately resulting in his tragic downfall. This conflict highlights themes of identity, pride, and the consequences of challenging the gods.

Apollo allowed Phaethon to ride the chariot to fulfill a promise he made to his son, demonstrating his paternal love and desire to support Phaethon's wish to prove his divine heritage. Despite knowing the dangers of the chariot, Apollo wanted to give Phaethon a chance to experience his celestial legacy. Unfortunately, Phaethon's lack of skill and experience led to disastrous consequences, highlighting the importance of understanding one's limitations.
The climax of Phaethon is when Phaethon loses control of the stupid chariot. Why don't you guys understand this type of material? Honestly, if this is for your homework, ASK YOUR TEACHERS FOR HELP! I've cheated on a number of tests, and I had to redo 10th grade 3 times. You don't want to be me. :(
Phaethon is ashamed to admit that he cannot control the sun chariot properly and has put the world in danger by losing control of it.
Phaethon's mother, Clymene, did not believe that Apollo was Phaethon's father. She doubted Apollo's claim of paternity and asked him to swear an oath on the River Styx to confirm the truth. Apollo obliged and swore by the River Styx, a binding oath that could not be broken.
Apollo agrees to grant Phaethon proof of his origin to reassure him of his divine lineage and to quell Phaethon's insecurities about being the son of a god. This promise is motivated by Apollo's desire to support his son and demonstrate his love, despite the potential consequences of revealing their relationship. Additionally, Apollo hopes that by granting this proof, Phaethon will find confidence and a sense of belonging in his identity. Ultimately, this act sets the stage for Phaethon's tragic journey.
