Helijade

**Helijade** u grčkoj mitologiji, (, što znači 'kćeri sunca') koje se nazivaju i Faetontide (što znači kćerke Faetona") bile su kćeri Helija i Klimene, okeanidske nimfe.

## Imena 
Prema jednoj verziji koju je zabilježio Higin, postojalo je sedam Helijada: Meropa, Helije, Aegla, Lampetia, Feba, Eteria i Dioksipa. Eshil u svojoj Helijadi od koje su preživjeli fragmenti imenuje Faetusa i Lampetiju, koje se inače nazivaju kćeri Naere.

## Mitologija 
Njihov brat, Faeton je poginuo nakon što je pokušao da vozi očevu kočiju (sunce) preko neba. Nije mogao kontrolisati konje i pao je (prema većini izvještaja, Zeus je udario njegovu kočiju gromom kako bi spasio Zemlju od zapaljenja). Helijade su tugovale četiri mjeseca i bogovi su ih pretvorili u topole, a njihove suze u ćilibar. Prema nekim izvorima, njihove suze (ćilibar) su pale u rijeku Eridan, u koju je pao Faeton.

Prema Higinu, Helijade su pretvorene u topole jer su upregle kola za svog brata bez dozvole svog oca Helija.
