Apollo 8

For Nietzsche the interaction between Apollo and Dionysus can be described as a metaphor for Greece; independently, Apollo was a representation of order or structure, while Dionysus represented music and chaos. They could work together but they would often be in violent opposition of each other. This represents Greece because at first glance Greece is like an iceberg; the top, Apollo, is ordered or structured, but beneath the surface, Dionysus, there is chaos. In The Bacchae, the Dionysian behavior

this story, we learn that she was Apollo’s virgin priestess and that he gave her the gift of prophecy. Apollo had wanted Cassandra to bear him a child, but she refused because she took her religious commitment seriously. Apollo could have not accepted her answer, but he respected her.

As her ordinary life continued in the Kingdom

I have had a love for Orion for as long as I can recall. It was the first constellation I could readily locate. Every fall I would start looking for those three bright stars on the belt: Alnitak, Alniham, and Mintaka. The constellation also includes some of the most recognized star names: Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, and Rigel.

the underworld without exception. He had varying interests and tricked others for his own amusement. Although a God is supposed to be viewed in a favorable light, Hermes has been known as the patron of thieves since his birth. He stole cattle from Apollo and claimed to be innocent.

Phaethon says that his father is letting him drive it alone on that night. Epaphus thinks Phaethon is lying, so he tells Phaethon to prove it. Phaethon says “You’ll know me. When I pass the village I will

playful by nature. Women who were often seen dancing and entertaining humans. For example, the oil on wood painting done by Baldassare Peruzzi. In this painting the muses are represented very light heartedly. They are gracefully dancing with the God Apollo; with skirts swirling and a hop in each muses step it is clear to see that this is a joyous and carefree representation of them. However, paintings of the muses were not always concerned with amusement. Another painting done by Hendrick van Balen

reader finds himself in the world of the primitive hunting instincts of man. In the story of Apollo and Daphne, Daphne was Apollo’s first love not by coincidence, but by the work of Cupid. The irony behind the function of Cupid is how violence is used to gain love. Arrows are often used for hunting to kill animals, yet here weapons, violence, and assault are used as the tools of desire. Cupid shot Apollo, causing him to lust after Daphne and Daphne got shot with the arrow causing her to be put off

Apollo According to the Greek poet Hesiod, “Apollo is the son of the Olympian Zeus and Titan Leto who is the goddess of dark nights. Artemis is his twin sister, who is also an Olympian”(Hesiod). He is the god of sun, light, music, and prophecy. Besides, he is also the god for both medicine and healing. Apollo is associated with medicine and healing through his son, Asclepius.

Iris was the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. Iris traveled on the rainbow to earth to give messages to the humans.

In early mythology, “Pisces means “fishes” in Latin. Pisces is one of the earliest zodiac signs to appear on sight, with the discovery of the two fishes showing up as far as 2300 BCE. There are many Greek myths, but one in particular has stood out the most. In this one, Pisces symbolizes the fish that Aphrodite, also known as Venus, and her son Eros, who is also known as Cupid, act of transformation when trying to escape the horrendous monster names Typhon.
