Write a brief characterization of Phaethon
tracing (where applicable) their development across the two Books of the Metamorphoses we have read so far. You should address who they are, which character traits they have, and whether the narrator of the Metamorphoses condemns or defends their actions or reactions in any way. Your characterization should be at least 200 words and should include at least one quoted passage from the text, providing relevant book and line numbers.
