Apollo

 Apollo was the Greek god of the sun, light, music prophecy, colonization, medicine, archery (but not for war or hunting), poetry, dance, intellectual inquiry, and the caretaker of herds and flocks. His mother was Leto and his father, the god of the gods, Zeus. He had many siblings. One of many was Artemis, his twin sister. Sacred to Apollo are the swan, the wolf, and the dolphin. His most identifiable attributes are the bow and arrow, his laurel crown, and the cithara (an ancient stringed instrument) and plectrum (a small flat tool used to pluck a stringed instrument). In addition he is often associated with the tripod, the symbol of his prophetic powers. **

 * Apollo’s birth was quite a difficult undertaking. When the goddess Hera, the wife of Zeus, found out about another goddess, Leto, who had recently, became pregnant with her husband, she was outraged with jealousy. Seeking revenge, Hera forced Leto to roam the earth searching for a place to give birth. Since Hera had forbidden Leto to stay anywhere on earth, the only hope was Delos, a small, hard to reach, floating island. She went through many situations to get to the island, but as she went she and her children grew stronger. As she traveled, her children inside of her saw things that inspired them. Once she reached the island, she was able to give birth to two beautiful twin babies, one of which was Apollo. **
