Greek name: Φαεθων = Phaethōn. Phaethon was a youthful son of Helios who begged his father let him drive the chariot of the sun.

Taunted with illegitimacy, Phaethon appealed to his father, who swore to prove his paternity by giving him whatever he wanted. Phaethon asked to be allowed to drive the chariot of the sun through the heavens for a single day) <http://vocab.getty.edu/page/ia/901001408> Wikipedia, June 3, 2020 (Phaethon) Bulgarian version (Фаетон = Faeton) Breton version (Faethon) Catalan version (Faetont) Chuvash version (Фаэтон = Faėton) Czech version (Faethón) Danish version (Faeton) Esperanto version (Faetono) Galician version (Faetonte or Faetón) Italian version (Fetonte) Lithuanian version (Faetonas (Faetontas, Fajetonas)) Japanese version (パエトーン = Paetōn) Portuguese version (Faetonte or Fáeton) Russian version (Фаэтон = Faėton) Slovak version (Faethón) Slovenian version (Faetont) Serbian version (Фајетон = Fajeton) Ukrainian version (Фаетон = Faeton) Chinese version (法厄同 = Faetong)
