Helios Lives Here

 

The best known story involving Helios is that of his son Phaëton, who attempted to drive his father's chariot but lost control and set the earth on fire.

Gee, thanks kid.

Just had to comment again after glancing through the linked article ... how appropriate for a couple of Phaeton Owners:

Phaethon is also the name of another minor Greek deity, the god of the WANDERING star Dios (the planet Jupiter).
