EDITORS COMMENTS
Phaeton's Fatal Accident: A Classical Mythological Tale of Reckless Joyriding and Divine Wrath This evocative print depicts the tragic tale of Phaeton, a young man who dared to seize the reins of his father Phoebus's (the Sun) magnificent chariot for a joyride. The sun god, who was the god of light and day, was often depicted as a radiant and powerful figure, driving his chariot across the sky. However, Phaeton, filled with an insatiable curiosity and a desire for excitement, saw an opportunity to experience the thrill of controlling the celestial vehicle himself. Unfortunately, Phaeton was not prepared for the immense power and responsibility that came with guiding the chariot. He lost control, causing widespread damage as the sun's fiery horses rampaged out of control. The earth shook, and the rivers and seas boiled as the sun's chariot scorched the earth. Desperate to put an end to the chaos, Zeus, the king of the gods, intervened. With a swift and powerful thunderbolt, he struck Phaeton, bringing his reckless journey to an abrupt and fatal end. The print captures the dramatic moment of Phaeton's demise, as he plunges into the river Lethe, forever separated from the realm of the living. This historical print is a poignant reminder of the consequences of recklessness and the power of the gods in ancient mythology. It is a tale that has been passed down through generations, inspiring awe and wonder at the capricious nature of the gods and the power of the natural world.
