And Phaethon, as he grew up, became as proud as he was fair, and wherever he went he boasted of his kinship to the Sun; and men when they looked upon his matchless form and his radiant features believed his words, and honored him as the heir of Helios Hy- perion. But one Epaphos, a son of Zeus, sneered.
"Thou a child of Helios!" he said; "what folly! Thou canst show nothing wherewith to prove thy 212 Phaethon's Folly kinship, save thy fair face and thy yellow hair; and there are many maidens in... Hellas who have those, and are as beautiful as thou. Manly grace and hand- some features are indeed the gifts of the gods; but it is by godlike deeds alone that one can prove his kin- ship to the immortals. While Helios Hyperion - - thy father, as thou wouldst have it - - guides his chariot above the clouds, and showers blessings upon the earth, what dost thou do? What, indeed, but dally with thy yellow locks, and gaze upon thy costly cloth- ing, while all the time thy feet are in the dust, and the mire of the earth holds them fast?
