Phaethon made his journey to find his father, Apollo.

When Phaethon failed to control the chariot, the heat of the sun caused villages to burn and people to rush about screaming.

Phaethon told his father he wished to drive the sun chariot.

Apollo could not comfort Phaethon's sister, so he changed them into poplar trees.
