Гелиады / Heliades (2011) Михаил Басов / Michael Basov

Heliades were the daughters of Helios, the Greek god of Sun, and the sisters of Phaëthon, who dared to drive his father’s sun chariot on the dome of heaven. He was unable to control the horses, nearly setting the world on fire, and was struck down by Zeus with a thunderbolt. Mourning Heliades were turned into poplar trees and from then on they have been trying to become daughters of the Sun again, which is reflected in some properties of the poplar fluff.
