Phaeton:
(Gr. myth.) ,son ofApollo. the sun-god,who,when he tried to drive his father’s golden chariot acrossthe sky. was thrown from it andkilled with a thunderbolt byZeus. Hence a symbol of over-reaching pride. （希腊神话）法厄同，太阳神阿波罗的儿子，曾驾其父的金马车在天上驰骋，失去控制，被宙斯用雷击死。因此用作狂妄的象征。
△3H.VI.1.4.33:“Now Phaeton hath tumbledfrom his car /And made an evening at the noontideprick.”现在法厄同翻了车.把中午时分变成了黄昏。
△3H.VI2.6.11: “O Phoebus! hadst thou never givenconsent /That Phaёton should check thy fierysteeds,/ Thy burning car never had scorched theearth!”啊，太阳神！ 福玻斯！ 倘若你当初不曾准许你儿子法厄同驾驭你那些烈性骏马，你那熊熊燃烧的车子也就不至于把大地烧成焦土。
△Gent.3.1.153: “Why,Phaeton (for thouart Merops’ son),/ Wilt thou aspire to guide theheavenly car，”法厄同（因为你不过是密洛普斯的儿子），你竟敢想驾驶天车吗？
△Rom.3.2.2:“Such a waggoner /AsPhaeton would whip you to the west，”像法厄同那样的一个驾车人会鞭策你们到西方去。
