Apollo - Tumblr Posts

these are my babies, and if you hurt them - you die (shash, none of them is dead)

Hyacinth, to his father: well, I don't have a problem to talk to him. His not a girl who wishes to marry me

Apollo: I can be😏

I actually really want the writer to translate the book to English, but they'll probably do that when they finish writing

Whenever I try to build a timeline about apollo (I tried twice, but still), I just feel like like Hyacinthus was one of his lasts

Like, Hyacinthus, then Daphne, and then we never heard about his love stories until pjo

And there IS a version of the story where Hyacinthus came back to life

I'm just saying, what if they still together? What if they got the happy ending they deserve?

Ppl always told me that freckles are like sun kisses.

I think it's ironic, because I have freckles, but my name means moon

Artemis: The world doesn't revolve around you!

Apollo:

fuck grampyXsunshine characters, give me my flowerXsunshine babies

acually @iamolympus is writing about them

my heart- i remembar this part- i want to fucking cry-

hyacinthus: so if YOU had to create a flower one day, how would it look? apollo: how would you want id to look? hyacinthus: how long are you planing to throw at me the questions that I throw at you? apollo: if its depends on me, forever

part of the fanfic im workimg on~

one thing i love about writing about apollo and hyacinthus is that i can put random male characters how are just trying to get hyacinthus attention everyone were just so gay for him

everyone in the back just like 😐sure honey😐

"im not dramatic!" said apollo dramatically

Olympus, can i adopt them??

"can i kiss you?" i asked hyacinthus in a whisper "what?" he answered i held his face and kissed him. he stumbled back and i almost fell on him, but he managed to steady himself. to my surprise, he didn't push me away. to my greater surprise, he held me "a special reason?" he asked "no reason" i replied "please don't leave" and he didn't leave

-under the sun (my fanfic!), chapter 25

im still working on it, tho

Right now, I'm in a place that named (in direct translation) sun house

It is a temple to Apollo😌✨️

Apollo and one of his cowes, cause im bored

Mr. Google has had his say

Oh

apollo: wake up, flower apollo: wake up hyacinthus: apollo: 🙁 wake up, love hyacinthus: apollo: 😭

"The discus hit my flower, and the wind stopped"

omg olympus wtf @iamolympus

I told my sister that the flower from tangled was Apollo's boyfriend

She was half asleep, so she probably don't remember

Apollo's reason in god games was kinda dumb, and i dont think he really cared at all

I imagine him making out with hyacinthus, and Zeus comes like "i need you for something", and apollo is like "im in the middle of somethin", and Zeus is like "5 minutes"

And apollo didnt care at all about ody, so his like "yeah, sirens"

Athena "you should totally bite aphrodite"

Apollo "all my past partners are now plants"

Hermes "oh fuck im vegetarian *kills the cows anyway*"

Artemis "ew boys"

Apollo and Artemis "what did you say about my mother???"

Why did Apollo favor the trojans in the Illiad?

So, dear Anon, I've been thinking about how to answer this question since I got it a couple days ago and I think I kind of want to make something clear before I get into it.

The Iliad by itself as a poem only covers some of the events that occur in the final year of a long protracted conflict that had been brewing for at least two decades and was an active war for ten. Within the space of the Iliad itself, the motivations and affairs of the major players are often referenced but there are many, many parts of the story that are not there because they belong to a different story cycle that has been since lost or was never recorded with words. In the space of the Iliad Apollo's motivations are questioned a lot - his pride is questioned by Poseidon who thinks Apollo should be just as angry at the Trojans as he considering Apollo was treated equally as poorly by Laomedon while they worked together. His honour is questioned by Hera who chastises him for taking the Trojans' side when he'd proclaimed that Achilles would live a long life and prosper at Thetis and Peleus' wedding. His own sister calls him a coward for refusing to fight when Zeus gives permission for the gods to go wild on the battlefield. For all that there's this image of Apollo in the Iliad as some staunch and unwavering protector of the Trojans, believe it or not, I largely think of Apollo as neutral in the war.

Which, I suppose, comes back to the question - why did Apollo favour the Trojans? The truthful answer is that I don't know. The Iliad and all its connected stories isn't something I've done enough research on to have an answer or a reference to an answer off the top of my head. The reasoning I'm aware of is that Apollo was a Patron God of Troy and really a god doesn't need any reason besides that to protect his people but it's not like Apollo abandoned the Greeks either. Calchas is the biggest example of that I can point to - descended directly from a priest of Apollo and one who attributed his mantic power to the god, Calchas was pivotal in ensuring the Greeks even got to Troy in the first place.

From a personal perspective however, I think Apollo was more dedicated to the house of Priam than he was the city of Troy itself. Apollo's affection for that house and all its members ran deep - from his admiration of Hecuba and Hector to his love and attempted courtship of Cassandra to his blessings given to Helenus, Deiphobos, Cassandra, Troilus and even his partnership with Paris - Apollo loved the house of Priam. When you think about the times Apollo lashes out against the Greeks, it's generally because they've done some nonsense to earn his ire. The plague was caused by Agamemnon disrespecting his priest, his aid in the slaughter of Patroclus was because he didn't respect him, his minor grudge against Diomedes too was because he tried to test Apollo's mettle and well, the less said about Achilles the better. Apart from his obvious favouring of Hector in the skirmishes, Apollo doesn't really oppose the Greeks. He has a ton of reasons to by the time the Iliad rolls around, including avenging the death of two of his sons, but he remains mostly satisfied with conducting his father's business and overseeing the war from a somewhat professional perspective. To me, it's always been less about Apollo caring about the fate of Troy as a city itself and more about him just really wanting to protect the people in the city that he's come to love and respect.

Of course, I encourage you to take my words with a big tablespoon of salt - like I said, I don't really know enough about the facts in particular to give a solid, confident answer but I can give you my interpretation of it. Maybe consult someone like @littlesparklight for a more comprehensive and grounded response 🤔
