The sisters of Phaethon are again mentioned at Aen. 10.189-191: Namque ferunt luctu Cycnum Phaethontis amati, populeas inter frondes umbramque sororum dum canit et maestum Musa solatur amorem,
where Servius notes: Phaethusa et Lampetusa, deorum miseratione in arbores commutatae sunt, ut hic dicit, in populos, ut in bucolicis, in alnos. To veer off topic: the Cycnus story has interesting parallels with the Orpheus/Kalais story in Phanokles.
