Helijade u grčkoj mitologiji, (starogrčki: Ἡλιάδεςznači 'kćeri sunca') koje se nazivaju i Faetontide^[1] (što znači kćerke Faetona") bile su kćeri Helija i Klimena, okeanidske nimfe.

Imena

Prema jednoj verziji koju je zabilježio Higin, postojalo je sedam Helijada: Meropa, Helije, Aegla, Lampetia, Feba, Eteria i Dioksipa.^[2] Eshil u svojoj Helijadi od koje su preživjeli fragmenti^[3][4] imenuje Faetusa i Lampetiju, koje se inače nazivaju kćeri Naere.^[5]

Mitologija

Njihov brat, Faeton je poginuo nakon što je pokušao da vozi očevu kočiju (sunce) preko neba. Nije mogao kontrolisati konje i pao je (prema većini izvještaja, Zeus je udario njegovu kočiju gromom kako bi spasio Zemlju od zapaljenja). Helijade su tugovale četiri mjeseca i bogovi su ih pretvorili u topole, a njihove suze u ćilibar.^[6][7] Prema nekim izvorima, njihove suze (ćilibar) su pale u rijeku Eridan, u koju je pao Faeton.^[8][9][10]

Prema Higinu, Helijade su pretvorene u topole jer su upregle kola za svog brata bez dozvole svog oca Helija.^[11]
