Every Greek name carries a story; Apollo carries more than one.
The story
Apollo is the Greek god of the Sun, music, poetry, prophecy, medicine, and archery. Often depicted as a handsome, youthful god with a lyre, he is the ideal of the kouros—youthful beauty and athleticism. Apollo embodies rational thought, artistic expression, and healing.
