Phaethon and the Sun Chariot

Oh, Muses! In this episode we tell the tale of Phaethon, son of Helios, and how he travels to distant lands in order to meet the father he's never known. We come across flaming horses, surprise siblings, difficult co-parenting decisions, and promises you have to keep, even though it's a bad idea.
