The first famous legend is essentially about young Apollo defeating the python of Delphi for torment him mother during pregnancy. The Python of Delphi was a creature with the body like a snake. This creature dwelled on Mount Parnassus, in central Greece. Wherever it went, it diffused an obnoxious smell and spread mischief and death. The python was sent by Hera, the wife of Zeus, to get rid of Leto, Zeus’s lover so that she couldn’t give birth anywhere. Apollo was born, only 4 days after his birth, Apollo was already a strong young man. Soon after the young boy was granted a bow with silver arrows by the blacksmith Hephaestus, which gave him the idea to seek and kill the python to take revenge.

His mother is Leto a titaness and his father Zeus, king of the gods which means that all the major gods are pretty much related to each other. Apollo’s siblings are Artemis, who is related the closest to him, Ares, Athena, Dionysus, Persephone, Hephaestus and Hermes Are his half siblings, they share a common father. Apollo had six godly children named Phaeton, Aristaeus, Asclepius, Troilus, Linus, Orpheus and many more half god children.

Apollon, Latin for Apollo, has quite a wide speard array of material to cover. To begin with let’s start with his birth, Apollo was the son of Leto, god of the Titanesses and Zeus, the god of gods (royal parentage). He was born on the island of Delos off the coast of Palestine. He and his older twin sister Artemis, also an Olympian, shared an aptitude for archery. His forename, Phoebus, means “bright” or “pure” and connects him to his grandmother, the Titan Phoebe. Apollo was a wise God, he was mostly a cheerful

In Greek Mythology a rivalry always occurs between certain Gods and Goddesses. In the case of Apollo and Dionysus there is no exception. They are half brothers, both sons of Zues and they compete just as most brothers do. Though the two Greek Gods, Apollo and Dionysus, were actually very similar in some ways, they severely contrasted in others.

While caring for others is an admirable trait, it can be associated with aggressiveness, leading to vindictiveness. When caring for someone, a psychological protective barrier is put up for the person being cared for and when an interference occurs, conflict occurs. Also, when facing competition, a protective barrier will be put up in order to make the person feel in control. Similarly, the Greek god Apollo is strongly admired for being caring and handsome while also being known for failed relationships and vengefulness. He is the god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the twin brother of the goddess of

She also asked Zeus to grant her eternal chastity and virginity. Artemis focussed on hunting and nature that’s why her symbols are bows, arrows, stags, hunting dog, and the moon. She was is the protector of wild and tame animals, agriculture,and animal herding. But just as she was the protector of all this things she also could cause sudden death and diseases with her twin brother Apollo.

Artemis was the goddess of virginity, chastity, the moon, the natural environment and the hunt. Her parents were Zeus and Leto, and she was the twin sister to Apollo. Artemis was involved several myths one in which she turned Actaeon into a stag and his hounded killed him after he was hunting saw her naked bathing in a spring and tried to rape

Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, was born in a cave atop mount Cyllene in Arcadia. A myth tells that after his birth, Hermes snuck out and stole Apollo’s herd. This shows how sneaky Hermes can be and his impulse to steal. “To keep from being discovered by the tracks, he put boots on their feet and led them to Pylos” (HERMES GOD ΕΡΜΗΣ). Cunning Hermes proceeded with his stolen cattle and Apollo went to search for them.

-Apollo, one of the twins from Leto and Zeus, was considered God of the sun and patron of music, poetry, mathematics, and medicine.

Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto as well as the twin brother of Artemis. Apollo, also known by the name Apollon, and Phoebus when seen as the God of Light, was described to be a very handsome, young man with long hair. Apollo is said to be present with a wreath on his head, bows and arrows, a raven, which is a sacred animal of

Artemis is the daughter of Zeus, king of the gods, and Leto, daughter of the titans Coeus and Phoebe. When Leto was pregnant, Hera forbid any place to offer shelter to the woman who had seduced her husband. Zeus felt sorry for Leto so he decided to transform her into a quail to easily give birth to their children. They soon found an island by the name of Delos, that was willing to accept them. For nine days and nights, Leto suffered intense labor pains, until the tenth day when she finally gave birth to Artemis. Artemis then aided her mother in bringing her twin brother Apollo, god of the sun and music, into the world.

Athena’s symbols are an owl and olive tree, showing that she was at mount Olympus at some time. The feather would have blown away if it was there longer than a day showing that she had to have been there in the same 24 hour time span has Suez. Evidence also supports the idea that Apollo was there because one of his symbols is a mouse so that would explain the animal droppings at the crime scene. Apollo also has a lyre which is like a harp which has strings. There was a string at the crime scene which is from his lyre. Research will verify that Apollo attempted to kill Zeus because Zeus killed Apollo’s son. Apollo has been mad for years and wanted revenge on his son’s murderer. Zeus took away Apollo’s one and only song, making him enraged. Research also demonstrates that Athena helped because Zeus swallowed her mother, so she grew up without one. Making her bitter towards

After Hermes mischievously stole Apollo’s cattle but gave him a lyre in exchange for the animals, everyone was under the impression that Hermes and Apollo had made up.

When the twins knew this insult, they got enraged and at once, came down to Earth to kill the children of Niobe. Apollo, the god of light and music, killed all seven of Niobe's sons with his powerful arrows in front of their mother's eyes. Although Niobe was pleading Apollo to feel mercy for her last surviving son, Apollo's lethal arrow had already left his bow to find its mark with deadly accuracy, thus wiping out all the male descendants of Niobe. Artemis, the virgin goddess of nature and hunting, killed Niobe's seven daughters with her lethal arrows and their dead bodies were lying unburied for nine days. Turning into a rock Devastated by the slaughter of his children, Amphion committed suicide. Some versions say that he too was killed by Apollo when he tried to avenge his children's
