Greek Gods and Goddesses (Pt. 6)

Apollo:

His Roman name is still Apollo. He is the god of the sun and light, music and poetry, healing and plagues, prophecy and knowledge, order and beauty, and archery and agriculture. His symbols include the python, bow and arrow, laurel wreath, and raven. He had the ability to see into the future and power over light. He even had the power to heal people, and even bring illness among people as well. When in battle, he was very deadly with a bow and arrow. He was the son of Zeus and Leto. Although he had many encounters, he was never married. He was the twin brother of the goddess Artemis. His four children were Asclepius, Troilus, Aristaeus, and Orpheus. He was born on the Greek island Delos. As a child he was fed a nectar that was sacred to the gods. The nectar is called ambrosia. He was also known as a skilled magician, and he played his golden lyre pretty well. Plus, although he had the ability to be very cruel, he was always kind to his sister and his mother. He sided with the Trojans during the Trojan War.
