These four Greek myths describe adventures involving reckless actions and their consequences: 1) Phaethon ignores his father's warnings and fails to control the chariot of the sun, burning the earth until killed by Zeus's lightning. 2) Bellerophon slays the Chimera but his pride makes Pegasus throw him from the sky to his death. 3) The giants Otus and Ephialtes underestimate the gods and are tricked into killing each other by Artemis. 4) Daedalus and his son Icarus fashion wings to escape prison but Icarus ignores instructions and flies too close to the sun, melting his wings and drowning in the sea
