Heliades
In Greek mythology, the Heliades ((ギリシア語:Ἡλιάδες), "children of the sun") were the daughters of Helios and Clymene the Oceanid.
According to one version recorded by Hyginus, there were three of them: Aegiale, Aegle, and Aetheria. According to another version, there were five: Helia, Merope, Phoebe, Aetheria, and Dioxippe.〔Hyginus ''Fabulae'' 154〕 Aeschylus's fragmentary "Heliades" 〔Aeschylus, ''Heliades'' (play survived only in brief fragments)〕〔Ovid ''Metamorphoses'' 2.340〕 names Phaethousa and Lampetia, who are otherwise called daughters of Neaera.〔Homer ''Odyssey'' 12.128〕
Their brother, Phaëthon, died after attempting to drive his father's chariot (the sun) across the sky. He was unable to control the horses and fell to his death (according to most accounts, Zeus struck his chariot with a thunderbolt to save the Earth from being set afire). The Heliades grieved for four months and the gods turned them into poplar trees and their tears into amber.〔Diodorus Siculus, ''Library of History'' 5. 23. 2〕〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'' 10. 262 ff〕 According to some sources, their tears (amber) fell into the river Eridanos, in which Phaethon had fallen.〔Philoxenus of Cythera, Fragment 834〕〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' 1. 4. 1〕〔Quintus Smyrnaeus, ''Fall of Troy'' 5. 627 ff〕
According to Hyginus, the Heliades were turned to poplar trees because they yoked the chariot for their brother without their father Helios' permission.〔Hyginus ''Fabulae'' 152A〕
