"The Charioteer" coloring book page (Patreon)

This month's coloring book image comes from our lesson, The tragic myth of the Sun God's son by Iseult Gillespie with with animation by Jagriti Khirwar and Raghav Arumugam.

Every morning, Helios unleashed his golden chariot, and set out across the sky. As the Sun God transformed dawn into day, he thought of his son, Phaethon, below. To prove to Phaethon that he was truly his father, Helios decided to grant him anything he wanted. Unfortunately, what Phaethon wanted was to drive Helios’ chariot for a day. Iseult Gillespie shares the tragic myth of the charioteer.
