APOLLO
Απολλων
greek god of the sun, poetry, music, archery, prophecy, disease, healingApollo was the ancient Greek god of music and poetry and younger brother of Artemis. He is one of the twelve Olympians and is the son of Zeus and Leto.
He pulls the sun across the sky in a chariot led by four horses and is often conflated with Helios because of this.
Him and Artemis are both deities of disease and sudden death; she targets girls and women while he targets boys and men. He is a protector of boys and young men as well.
Lord Phoibus Apollon, Far Shooting Archer
Most pious and giving.
Lend me a guiding light,
And protect me with your pythian spirit
Allow me to remain, through your grace safe.
Bathed in the rays always of your warm sun.
The Helianthus flower in your wake.
Glory and Music to Lordly Apollon,
The Great Healer.
