| | TITLES OF APOLLON : Ancient Greek religion |
 | | The first of Apollon's cult titles refer to his various divine functions, as god of oracles, archery, music, healing, the averter of plague and evils, the protector from harm (from wolves, plagues of mice and locusts, mildew; proctection of streets, entrances, embarkations, voyages, etc), hunting |
 | | Another set of cult titles derived from the towns and places where his shrines were located, as well as the names of cult-founders, and descriptions of their locale. |
 | | Not all of these titles were restricted to their "home-town", for example, Apollon Pythios (of Phthia) was worshipped throughout Greece. |
