Apollo was an important Greek god associated with the bow, music, and divination. Epitome of youth and beauty, source of life and healing, patron of the arts and as bright and powerful as the sun itself, Apollo was possibly the most beloved of all the gods. Son of Zeus and Leto, and twin brother of Artemis, Apollo was born on the island of Delos. As the god that he was, Apollo had had several romances with both nymphs and mortals. He made people aware of their sins and and helped them purify.
