Subject: The Greek myth of Phaethon - son of the sun god Helios - is interpreted through a grave inventory found in an already known Grave 47 from Kompolje, dating from the late 6^th-5^th c. BC. The exhibition analyses mythical interpretations through different historical periods in works of eminent artists, finishing with the use of this motive in modern industry. Scenes from the myth were painted by the students of the Šestine elementary school, under professional guidance of Ida Loher.
