“You warned me, Father that if I flew too high I would fall. He is the sun, his light shines golden hot and I got too close. My wings turned to paper, my grace slipped away and … I fell.”

Yes it was he, this madman, insane and sublime … This forgotten Icarus soaring back to the skies, this Phaethon lost to the lightning of the gods, this fair, wounded Atys revived by Cybele!

Here's my Sketch of the four horses of Helios and his son Phaethon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The history of Helios'd horses is really a fun dive. If you look closely, the horses in the illustrations are actually very small. That is because miniature horses were bred for war in 800-500 BCE. Hailing from the island of Skyros, they are only 10 hands tall! (Pictured Below).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
According to Ovid, the four immortal horses are Aethon, Eous, Phlegon, and Pyrois. In ancient greek they were 2 female horses in the front, Thunder and Lightning. Two male horses in the rear (Time and flame).
Tumblr media
Helios is not the only one in ancient mythos to have horses. His two sisters, Selene (moon) and Eos (Dawn) ride the sky with him and both have four horses each. These make up the THE HIPPOI ATHANATOI, the immortal horses.

Phaethon’s disasterous journey across the sky. By Jim Tierney

Gotta feeling that Heimdall’s line about Atreus’ mouth burning cities is going to also involve him accidentally getting Phaethon killed by telling him his father needs to trust him, which will then in turn cause the Great Fire of Rome.

The Fall of Phaeton by Peter Paul Rubens
The Fall of Phaeton is a painting by the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens, featuring the ancient Greek myth of Phaeton (Phaethon), a recurring theme in visual arts. Rubens chose to depict the myth at the height of its action, with the thunderbolts hurled by Zeus to the right. The thunderbolts provide the light contrast to facilitate the display of horror on the faces of Phaeton, the horses and other figures while preserving the darkness of the event. The butterfly winged female figures represent the hours and seasons, who react in terror as the night and day cycle becomes disrupted. The great astrological circle that arches the heavens is also disrupted. The assemblage of bodies form a diagonal oval in the center, separating dark and light sides of the canvas. The bodies are arranged so as to assist the viewer's travel continually around that oval.
