Apollo was the son of Jupiter and Latona (Leto). His twin sister was Diana also referred to as Artemis the virgin huntress. He was one of the most important deities of both Greek and Roman religions, and was the god of prophecy, archery (far shooting with a silver bow) and music, playing a golden lyre. The origin of his name is uncertain but it is probably non-European. A fight with gigantic erath-serpent Python at Delphi gave Appolo the seat of his famous oracle. Python was an oospring of Gaia, mother earth, which issued revelations through a fissure in the rock so that a priestess, the Pythia, could give answers to any questions that might be asked. After he slew the earth-serpent, Apploo took its place, though he had to do penance in Thessaly for killing. Indeed, Zeus twice forced Apollo to be the slave of a mortal man to pay for his crime. Apollo's interest in healing, suggests an ancient association with the plague and its control. In Greek mthyology, Apollo's son Asclepius was also identified with healing and connected with sites in northern Greece. Indeed, so accomplished was Asclepius in medicine that Zeus slew him with a thunderbolt for daring to bring a man back to life. Apollo was also known as the god of light, the god of truth, who can not speak a lie. One of Apollo's more important daily tasks was to harness his chariot with four horses an drive the Sun across the sky. His tree was the laurel. The crow his bird. The dolphin his animal.

Friend of Caesar Posts: 1,976 Group: Members Member #31 Joined: Jun 16 2006 Gender Male	My cousin is taking Greek mythology and I loaned him my book that has the entire genealogy of the Greek pantheon. Needless to say it is an endlessly fascinating (but thick as hell) book. It is so convoluted! Great bathroom reading. <_<
