No: Phaeton is the son of Helios.
Volkswagen Phaeton was created in 2002.
In Greek Mythology, Phaeton or Apollo is the son of Helios, the sun god. Phaeton was killed by Zeus when he mismanaged to drive the sun chariot and threatened to burn earth.
Phaeton's father, the sun-god, promised to grant Phaeton whatever he wished. Phaeton declared that he wanted to drive the sun-chariot, and although the sun-god tried to discourage him, Phaeton refused to choose something else, and the god was not able to retract his promise. The horses that drew the chariot, under a weaker hand, burst out of control, and Zeus was forced to slay Phaeton with a lightning bolt to save the world from burning up. Phaeton brought about his own downfall by his impetuosity and pride.
The Volkswagen Phaeton is currently listed for sale on Cars, Auto Trader, and eBay. eBay currently has Volkswagen Phaeton's for sale for $1000 to $15,000.

Phaeton
Phaeton was the son of Helios and Clymene. His father had promised to give him anything and swore on the River Styx. Phaeton wanted to drive his father's chariot. This resulted in his death. Phaeton shows the moral of 'be careful what you wish for', and shows that swearing on the River Styx in mythology is a binding promise.
