The Fall of Phaeton, 1533. Jupiter, above, sits on his eagle and hurls a thunderbolt at Phaeton, son of Apollo, who had asked to drive the chariot of the sun. To save the earth, Jupiter destroyed Phaeton. Underneath, his sisters the Heliades, weeping, are changed into poplar trees. The river god Eridanus (the river Po) into whose river Phaeton fell, lies underneath. From Ovid's Metamorphoses. PD.1895-9-15-517.
