The Myths
Born on floating Delos, Apollo slew the serpent Python and claimed Delphi, where his Oracle spoke fates in riddles. He is light and plague, healing and the arrow that arrives without warning.
Symbols & Domains
The lyre, the laurel, and the sun chariot. Apollo governs music, poetry, prophecy, medicine, and archery — the arts that civilize and the shots that end arguments.
Famous Children
Asclepius, whose healing raised the dead, and Orpheus by some tellings. Apollo's cabin sings, rhymes (sometimes involuntarily), and never misses.
