Sun chariot

One of Apollo's most important daily tasks was to harness the four horses (Aethon, Pyrois, Phlegon, Eous) that were pulling his golden chariot, in order to pull the Sun across the sky every day.

Apollo allows Phaeton to drive the chariot that causes fear as he almost destroys the entire world with reckless abandonment. This scene shows Apollo's poor decision making skills and depicts him as a foolish god that lets his emotions get the best of him.
