The Fall of Phaeton is a painting by the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens depicting the Greek myth of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Apollo. In the myth, Phaeton received permission to drive the Sun chariot around Earth, but was unable to control the chariot and risked incinerating the world. Zeus was thus forced to kill him.
Rubens painted The Fall of Phaeton in Rome c. 1604/1605; the painting was probably reworked later, around 1606/1608. It is housed in the National Gallery of Art.
