PFLEIDERER a PHALAROPE German one day. Phœbus represented the dangers to which this would expose him; but in vain. He undertook the aërial jour ney. The flying horses immediately departed from the usual track. Phaëton repented too late of his rashness; heaven and earth were threatened with a universal conflagration, when Jupiter struck the rider with a thunderbolt, and hurled him headlong down into the river Po.
His body, consumed with fire, was found by the nymphs of the place. There was a drama by Euripides on Phaëton. Also an open carriage like a chaise, on four wheels, and drawn by two horses.
