Could you tell me a story about Helios pulled from mythology<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Certainly! Helios, also known as Sol in Roman mythology, was the god of the sun and was often depicted as driving a chariot across the sky, bringing light and warmth to the world below.

One famous myth about Helios involves his son, Phaethon. Phaethon was a mortal who had grown up believing that his father was the sun god. One day, Phaethon approached his father and asked him to prove his paternity by allowing him to drive the sun chariot across the sky for a day.

Despite his misgivings, Helios reluctantly agreed to his son's request. However, as soon as Phaethon took the reins of the chariot, he realized that he had no idea how to control the fiery horses that pulled it. The horses, sensing his fear and inexperience, bolted out of control, dragging the chariot across the sky and threatening to destroy the earth with their intense heat.

The gods were alarmed by the chaos and realized they needed to intervene. Zeus, the king of the gods, hurled a thunderbolt at the chariot, causing it to crash to the ground and killing Phaethon instantly. Helios was devastated by the loss of his son and mourned him deeply.

In some versions of the story, Helios is said to have begged Zeus to kill him as well, but the king of the gods refused, recognizing that Helios was needed to continue his vital role of driving the sun chariot across the sky each day.

From then on, Helios drove the chariot with a heavy heart, always remembering the tragic loss of his son. The myth of Helios and Phaethon serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overreaching and the importance of respect for the power of the gods.<|im_end|>
