Apollo, The Sun God

The Greek myths are stories that have explained the unknown. Apollo and his family are among many myths of gods that were made to explain the unknown. Apollo was the son of the most powerful god, Zeus. His mother was the titaness, Leto. He was the brightest god.

The god above all gods, and the guy I’m writing about today, is Zeus. When Zeus was little he grew up with many siblings, which were also competitors in his eyes. Zeus, along with brothers Poseidon and hades, fought for the throne of their father. His mother spared him from the rest of his brothers ‘and sisters’ fate (Cartwright 1).

Zeus was the child of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea, and was the youngest of all his siblings. Cronus , Zeus’ father, had been warned that one of his children would overthrow him. Cronus knew the consequences, for he had overthrown his father, Uranus. To prevent this from

Zeus, his name is synonymous with Greek mythology and religion. God of the weather and sky he used his powers of wind, lightning, and thunder to uphold the law and keep order. He ruled Mount Olympus as well as the pantheon of gods who lived there. Watching over mankind he would punish those who defied him and help those who were wronged. However, Zeus did have his flaws. His quick tempered nature combined with his lust for women made him relatable to the common man. From his coming to power until the beginning of Christianity, this complex god would have no equal.

Ouch! Screamed the tiny creatures of Oceanus as the rays of Helios, the sun god, blinded their sight. Then night approached, and the goddess of the moon, Selene, came out to give light to the darkness. As the end of night began, Eos, the goddess of dawn, used her rays of light to disperse the mists of the night. Helios, Eos, and Selene, the children of Hyperion, were each unique and had interesting abilities.

The sun god, Huitzilopochtli, brought up the sun. If he was unhappy or hungry, he would refuse to bring up the sun in the morning. Therefore, it would rain, or in some cases, the crops would die.(Warlords of Ancient Mexico)

Zeus’ response to the question was, “Yeah, I would love to meet up with you. I just need to know when and where we are going to meet.”

-Apollo went to Mount Parnussus to kill the python; who had chased his mother to prevent her from giving birth.

There were once a god, and a goddess whose names were The Sun Father, and the Moonlight-Giving Mother. The Zuni tribe of Pueblo, Western Mexico worshipped these two gods as night and day. One day the Sun Father, and Moonlight-Giving Mother came together during a solar eclipse causing the creation of a child who was named Lusio, The God of Light. Lusio was the creation of both the Sun Father, and Moonlight-Giving Mother, thus he had inherited both the powers of his parents. He had the ability to control the light of the sun during the day, and the light of the moon during the night, however; as he grew older he started to resent his parents because he did not see the need for two gods to control both when there could be one mighty and powerful god. One day he confronted them “Mother, father why must there be a Sun Father and Moonlight-Giving Mother if I can control both night and day, I should be the only god that can control light” Lusio said.

Millions of Centuries ago there was only day. There was no night, only hot, sunny, bright day. And the god in charge of that was Apollo. In the beginning God’s ruled over the earth and each of them had a special ability and Apollo’s happened to be the sun. But little did he know his never ending days would soon come to an end.

This is the story of Apollo’s start at Harper College. The night before his first day, he did not seem very nervous. He did not have any nerves because throughout his childhood, he was looked at in such a high light, almost like a god. He assumed that community college would be no different than the past. He also did not have many nerves because Harper was not where he wanted to end up going. Apollo had a long list of schools that he wanted to go to. A lot of these colleges just did not turn out to be the right fit for him and Artemis who ended up going to Harper also. For some reason, the people at the universities they visited did not give an impression that they wanted both of them to go that that school. After a lot more looking around,

Dead! A pure, defenseless mortal, dead. All because of some meaningless grudge held against Zeus. Apollo, with the help of Athena killed Suez. Both had to give up and lose a loved one because of Zeus. It is clear that they attempted to hurt Zeus in some way, shape, or form because, Apollo is able to manipulate someone’s health, and Athena has an owl and an olive tree, which left evidence at the crime scene.

In ancient Greek mythology Apollo was the god of music, healing, light, and prophecy (predicting the future). He was one of the 12 main gods believed to live on Mount Olympus. He also came to be considered a sun god. Because of Apollo's many important roles, the Greeks loved him greatly.

Every human being has within him an ideal man, just as every piece of marble contains in a rough state a statue as beautiful as the one that Praxiteles the Greek made of the god Apollo.Greek myth is comprised of many Gods and Goddesses and the stories of how they came to be and of their life stories. And this is the story of the God apollo One God that caught my eye was Apollo, was associated with many aspects of life in the time of the Greek gods. Apollo’s father was Zeus, the king of the gods. Zeus, though married to Hera, had some problems with fidelity. He impregnated Leto, the daughter of a Titan.When he was four days old, he asked Hephaestus to make him silver bows and arrows. Hephaestus created them for him. Apollo was

Long ago, even before the sun‘s creation, there was a boy named Apax, the son of Apollo. Apollo,who lives in a temple above North America where Apax lives below with his adoptive parents. Apollo entrusted Apax to his foster parents so he will grow up from humble beginnings, to learn of kindness and honesty. This fails as Apax angers and complains of his family's lack of money. So one day...
