There are many cultural pieces named after me, about me, or showing me in them. The most famous is the United State's NASA Program Apollo 13. Apollo 13's mission was to explore the moon, which is ironic considering I am the god of the sun. The Invocation about Apollo, is a prayer about me. (It is shown below.) On the second season of the original Star Trek, I am shown vainly trying to find new worshipers.
Invocations
Invocation to Apollo (written for Cedarlight Grove’s Thargelia ritual, April 2007)
Phoebos Apollo, radiant and shining archer,
Pythian Apollo, Lord of Delphi and oracles,
Delian Apollo, Lord of the Island of Delos,
Delphinius,
Averter of evil, Rescuer, Protector of strangers,
Divine healer, Far-shooter. Beautiful, terrible god of truth and light,
I ask your presence. I call to you
To be here this evening and witness this rite.
Golden son of Zeus and Leto, Brother of Artemis,
Lord of the Hyperboreans most pious,
Averter of plagues, giver of foresight
I ask for your blessing of purity, your shining inspiration,
and your unparalleled song.
Apollo, brilliant one of far sight and beautiful voice,
Wine and honey I pour to you.
Ie, Paeon!
I really liked how modern your cultural references are. It's very interesting how prevalent the Greek gods are still to this day.
