Apolo

Gods - Greek Mythology

 

Apollo is a god of Greco-Roman mythology, considered one of the greatest gods of Olympus.

He is venerated as the sun god, prophecy, poetry, arts, music, healing, justice, law, order, shooting and plague.

Apollo is one of the most beloved Olympian gods, being seen with a righteous god, who advocated tolerance. It is also known as the God of flocks and crops.

 

Representation of Apollo

The most common representation of Apollo is a naked, young, handsome and brilliant man, in which he refers to the idea that he was the Sun himself. His traditional objects are the silver bow, the lyre, the laurel branch and the palm tree.

 

History of Apollo

Son of Zeus and Leto, Apollo was born on the island of Delos, when his mother hid from the wife of Zeus, Hera.

He was the twin brother of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, magic, wilderness and wild animals. In addition, Apollo was brother of Hermes, Hephaestus, Ares and Athena.

As soon as he was born, he was fed with nectar from the gods and ambrosia. The food transformed him directly from baby to man. At the age of one, he defeated the python snake, which attempted to attack his mother.

He aided the Trojans in the Trojan War by saving on more than one occasion the warriors Aeneas, Glaucus and Hector.

His strength helped to destroy the walls of Troy and through him, Paris managed to hit Achilles' heel with an arrow, which was defeated.

In his honor, laurel wreaths were thrown at his feet. The blond is still today the representation of triumph in the Olympic games.

 

Apollo and Daphne

Apollo was the father of many gods, among them Aristeus and Asclepius, although he was not very lucky in love. She had had a lot of love affairs with both women and men.

One of his most iconic love stories is with the nymph Daphne, daughter of King Peneus.

As Apollo was a great archer god, he challenged the Cupid god of love, claiming that his arrows were more powerful than his.

To prove his power, Cupid hits his heart with an arrow of gold, which led him to love Daphne. In turn, he threw a lead arrow at her and as a consequence, she came to repudiate Apollo.

Thus, Apollo was despised by Daphne, who, contradicted by her constant attacks, asked her father, Peneu, to turn her into a laurel.
