Description

We call him "the Sun", but he has so many names that it is not theirs to count. Russian old ancestors that worshiped him a thousand years ago, called him "Yarilo", and the ancient Greeks called him Helios. Among the many Greek Gods, Helios was the only person in sight. Still would! — Every morning God Helios harnessed firemane horses and performed a sacred detour of the entire sky. He did not miss a day, never delayed the beginning of this sacred action, never was late with the completion... except for one case...

He had a son — Phaeton. Also God, but younger, you can say, still a child. Every day he saw off his father for his way, but his father did not take him with him and did not allow him to ride on a chariot of fire. Phaethon was so anxious that one day he could not restrain himself, early in the morning while his father was still asleep, he made his way to the fire stalls and led the horses, went to the sky. The horses did not immediately notice the substitution, but when they realized that their young, inexperienced hand was leading, they raced frenziedly. To keep them Phaethon could not. From such a haste the chariot fell apart and Phaethon fell into the sea, perished...

Helios 6 days mourned for his son and did not harness the horses, did not go around the sky. And only on the seventh day the Sun rose again, the darkness dissipated, heat returned to Earth.
