Document Summary
Twin brother of artemis: apollo = sun, artemis = moon. God of prophecy, music, archery, medicine/disease, sailors, and colonization. A youth always on the cusp of manhood. Appears in art as beardless, holding a bow and, sometimes, a lyre. The most characteristically greek god in the whole pantheon. Know thyself : on the athenian temple at delphi, this was a phrase associated with apollo, since he exhibited restraint. Goddess of hunting, girls approaching the age of marriage, disease in women, and birth. Vindictive: associated with the bloodiest and cruelest sacrifices. Cults frequently associated with female puberty initiation. Associated with hunted animals, especially stags and wild boar. A tiny, barren island in the middle of aegean: adjacent to mykonos. The traditional birthplace of apollo and artemis. Held a very important sanctuary to apollo. Became a vital centre for trade for centuries.
