Apollo

 

Hello my name is Apollo, I am one of the twelve Olympian God, also known as Greek Gods. I am the god of the sun, god of the arts(specifically music, poetry, and dance), god of medicine, god of prophecy/predictions, and protector of herdsmen and their flocks. I am the son of Zeus and Titan Leto. I am the younger twin of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. My symbols include a bow and arrow, harp/lyre, tripod, wolf, dolphin, raven, serpent, and many other animals. I represent order, reason, self-control, and the epitome of beauty. I am always seen with a crown/wreath around my head, a golden harp in my arms, and a golden bow and arrow. I have four children; Asclepius, Toilius, Aristaeus, and Orpheus.
