Greek GODS ! ( ALL 'BOUT APOLLO )
Apollo is one of the most complex and important gods, and is the god of many things, including: music, poetry, art, oracles, archery, plague, medicine, sun, light and knowledge.
He is one of the of the TWELVE OLYMPIAN DEITIES
He is the son of ZEUS and the TITAN LETO, and was born in the Greek island of Delos, along with his older twin sister ARTEMIS – goddess of the hunt.
Apollo is the ideal of the kouros, which means he has a beardless, athletic and youthful appearance. He is also an oracular god as a patron of Delphi and could predict prophecy through the Delphic Oracle Pythia.
Both medicine and healing are associated with Apollo and were thought to sometimes be mediated through his son, Asclepius. However, Apollo could also bring ill-health and deadly plague.
