Helios' Chariot was driven by Helios the Titan of the Sun. In some legends, he is merely the charioteer, whereas the passenger is Apollo, another, later sun god. Helios, in one myth, lets his son Phaethon drive it. However, Phaethon soon lost control and was killed, making Helios vow to never let anyone else drive the solar chariot.
