Phaethon, the teenage boy whose stupidity ruined the earth and totally messed with the sun in the sky. Youths can be just the worst. Not to mention he ruined his relationship with his father, Helios.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
