Gw mau tau Dalam mitologi dari Heliades

Saudara laki-laki mereka, Phaethon, meninggal setelah mencoba mengendarai kereta ayahnya (Helios) melintasi langit. Dia tidak dapat mengendalikan keretanya hingga jatuh ke kematiannya (menurut sebagian besar catatan, Zeus menyerang keretanya dengan petir untuk menyelamatkan Bumi agar tidak terbakar). Heliades berduka selama empat bulan dan para dewa mengubahnya menjadi pohon poplar dan air mata mereka menjadi damar. Menurut beberapa sumber, air mata mereka (amber) jatuh ke sungai Eridanus, di mana Phaethon jatuh.

Menurut Hyginus, Heliades diubah menjadi pohon poplar karena mereka membantu memasangkan kereta Phaethon tanpa izin ayah mereka, Helios.
