Answer:
Phaethon believes his father is the best and is proud of where he came from and to save and savor on that pride, he lies about him and his father
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Phaeton text, it states, " 8 “Sometimes I visit my father,” said Epaphus,3
the other boy. “I sit on
Olympus4
with him, and he teaches me things and gives me presents. Know what
he gave me last time? A little thunderbolt just like his—and he taught me how to
throw it. I killed three vultures, scared a f shing boat, started a forest f re. Next time
I go, I’ll throw it at more things. Do you visit your father?”
9 Phaethon never had. But he could not bear to tell Epaphus. “Certainly,” he said,
“very of en. I go to the eastern palace, and he teaches me things too.”
Which is lying for pride and respect from others, himself, and his father.
The second states, " 7 “Without my father there would be no day. It would always be night. Each
morning he hitches up his horses and drives the golden chariot of the sun across the
sky. And that is day time. T en he dives into the ocean stream and boards a golden
ferryboat and sails back to his eastern palace. T at time is called night."
