Phaethon (Son of Hyperion)

Phaethon was a mortal demigod.

Mythology
Phaethon was a demigod that was given permission from his father to ride the sun chariot. His father reluctantly allowed him to drive it, although Phaethon lost control and crashed the chariot. When he crashed he set the world on fire and burned Africa to a desert. Zeus was disgusted with Phaethon so he killed him with a thunderbolt.
