Watchers of Phaethon

Struck by Zeus' thunderbolt, Phaethon fell from the sky and tumbled into the rivers Eridanos. To this day the marsh exhales a heavy ghostly vapour that rises from his smouldering wounds. No bird can stretch out its fragile wings to fly over Phaethon's grave, for in mid-flight it falls dead in flames. The watchers of Phaetho forever protect his watery grave, and potentially your crypto wallet! This meta-sculpture is part of Nicode's summer series. Each moving model in the series is unique and created as a distinctive piece of ready-to-own artwork. All art and audio is original and credited to metaverse artist, Nico Daunt 2021.
