	Apollo
		Apollo was the god of music (principally the lyre, and he directed the choir of the Muses) and also of prophecy, colonization, medicine, archery (but not for war or hunting), poetry, dance, intellectual inquiry and the carer of herds and flocks.
		Apollo's infatuation for the nymph Daphne, which had been invoked by the young god of love Eros, because Apollo had mocked him, saying his archery skills were pathetic, and Apollo's singing had also irritated him.
		Apollo also loved Cyrene, she was another nymph, and she bore Apollo a son: Aristaeus, a demi-god, who became a protector of cattle and fruit trees, and a deity of hunting, husbandry and bee-keeping.

	Apollo, Greek Mythology Link.
		Apollo, who is a primary source of healing, transmitted his powers to his son Asclepius who in turn carried the art among men to such a great pitch that he not only prevented some from dying, but even raised up the dead.
		Apollo loved Hymenaeus 2 and this distraction gave Hermes a chance to steal his brother's cattle; and he also loved Hyacinthus 1; but him the god involuntarily killed with the cast of a quoit, and in the place where his blood had stained the grass there sprang a flower.
		Apollo is also held responsible for the death of Laocoon 2 (who threw his spear against the WOODEN HORSE) and his sons; for he sent snakes to kill his sons, and in trying to help them, Laocoon 2 was also killed.

	Apollo
		Apollo was the god of prophecy, a power that he exercised in many oracles, especially the famous one at Delphi, which is constantly mentioned; hence he was know as the Pythian Apollo from the old name that Delphi had, Pythgo.
		Apollo's playing skills brought frequent delight to his fellow gods, and he was very proud of his ability; he was in fact so sensitive on the point that he took drastic measures against those who dared to question it.
		Apollo occupied such a superior position that it is believed that he was originally, like Zeus, his father, the supreme god, the one god; that he had his origins in some such area where Zeus was not even known, and that Apollo could even have been the father of Zeus.

		APOLLO First, as a witness come I, for this man Is suppliant of mine by sacred right, Guest of my holy hearth and cleansed by me Of blood-guilt: then, to set me at his side And in his cause bear part, as part I bore Erst in his deed, whereby his mother fell.
		APOLLO Yea, for it stands not with a common death, That he should die, a chieftain and a king Decked with the sceptre which high heaven confers- Die, and by female hands, not smitten down By a far-shooting bow, held stalwartly By some strong Amazon.
		APOLLO This too I answer; mark a soothfast word Not the true parent is the woman's womb That bears the child; she doth but nurse the seed New-sown: the male is parent; she for him, As stranger for a stranger, hoards the germ Of life, unless the god its promise blight.
