APOLLO
“The Sun God”
Apollo’s origin

  •   Apollo and artemis were twins. They were the magical children of zeus and
      Leto. The twins - Apollo and his sister, Artemis - adored their mother. 
      Apollo, especially, was very protective of his mother. 

  •   When the ancient Romans heard the many Greek myths about Apollo, they
      loved them! 

  •   The ancient Romans were always borrowing gods from other cultures. When
      they ran into a myth they liked, they renamed the god and made him or her a
      Roman god. 

They loved the myths about Apollo so much that they did not even change his name.
Apollo is Apollo in Greek and in Roman mythology, and the stories are the same.
Apollo’s Appearance


• Apollo's Appearance: A young man with curly
  golden hair.
Apollo’s Symbol or
            Attribute:

•    The Sun itself, the lyre, the bow, and the chariot
    he drives across the sky daily, borrowed from an
    earlier pre-Greek Sun god, Helios.
Apollo strengths


• Creative, handsome, supportive of all the arts of
  civilization.
Weaknesses of Apollo

•   Like his father Zeus, Apollo is all too happy to
    enjoy the charms of nymphs, as well as the
    occasional youth, and his conquests number in the
    dozens.
The Birth Place Of
          Apollo

•   On the sunny Greek island of Delos, where he was
    born along with his twin sister, Artemis. Another
    tradition gives the islands of Lato, now called
    Paximadia, off the southern coast of Crete.
Spouse of Apollo


•   Apollo had many encounters, but no marriages. Flings with Cassandra, to
    whom he gave the gift of prophecy; Daphne, who fled from his embrace and
    turned into a laurel tree; and Calliope, with whom he had a child, Orpheus.
Apollo’s Children


•   Apollo had many encounters, but no marriages. Flings with Cassandra, to
    whom he gave the gift of prophecy; Daphne, who fled from his embrace and
    turned into a laurel tree; and Calliope, with whom he had a child, Orpheus.
