The story about the Greek myth Apollo.

Apollo is regarded as the god in charge of literature and art, in charge of light, youth, medicine, animal husbandry, music and so on. It is the patron saint of mankind, god of light, the god of prophecy, the patron saint of immigrants and navigators, the god of medicine and the god of disaster relief. Apollo was born on the floating island of Telo in Astria. Together with her twin sister Al Simis, she killed Pitong, the python who persecuted her mother, and Neobi and her children who humiliated her mother. One is the patron saint of Greek culture. There are many myths about him. The sculpture art in ancient Greece often used his image to express the beauty of men. Apollo is usually accepted as the sun god by some people, but he is not the real sun god. He is also called Phobos (meaning light). "Apollo is god of light, he can't find the darkness. He never lies and is aboveboard, so he is also called the God of Truth. Apollo is good at playing the lyre, and the beautiful melody is like nature; Apollo was also proficient in archery. His arrows hit every shot. Apollo was also a god of medicine, passing on medical skills to others; And because he is smart and knowledgeable, he is also the god of fables. Apollo was in charge of music, medicine, art and fable. He is the most versatile, beautiful and handsome god in Greek mythology. Apollo is also a typical male beauty. Among the many gods on Mount Olympus, Zeus, the main god, and Apollo, the son of Leto, are the most respected. The story of Apollo's birth is recorded in many ancient Greek mythological materials, such as stacks, songs of dross and homer's ode. About the birth of their brother and sister, the most popular legend is that after Leto got pregnant, Hera, the jealous queen, couldn't tolerate other goddesses giving birth to Zeus's eldest son, so she ordered that the land be forbidden to give birth to her baby. Leto ran around in pain, and finally her sister Adelos became an "island of ignorance", stepped forward and accepted her. Poseidon erected four diamond pillars on the seabed and fixed the floating island. Leto was here, and her husband gave birth to themis, the goddess of midwifery and hunting, and later gave birth to god of light Apollo with the help of themis. In people's minds, Apollo is a young man full of energy and blood. He is handsome and fragrant. His long hair hangs over his shoulders. Face frame, broad forehead, showing shrewdness, firmness, serenity, dignity and pride. Usually wearing a crown woven from the branches and leaves of laurel, Shenmu, olive or water lily. This god of light sometimes wears luxurious clothes, holds her head high in the blue sky and sings with the accompaniment of the guzheng hanging on her chest. The symbols of Apollo are harp, bow, arrow, quiver and tripod. People usually sacrifice him with swans, eagles, wolves, deer and cicadas. It is generally believed that the myth about Apollo originated in Asia Minor, because he sided with Troy in the Trojan War, and there were many other temples there. Others believe that it originated in northern Greece, and the Hupperpoli claimed to be descendants of Apollo. There are many myths related to Apollo, including: he killed Long Pitong and built a temple where Delphi defeated Pitong; Take part in the battle between the gods of Olympus and the genie; In the Trojan War, his priests were insulted by the Greeks, and he attacked them by torturing them. Hermes invented the lyre and gave it to Apollo, making him the god of music. Cassandra, the princess of Troy, fell in love with him and was endowed with the gift of prophecy, but the princess later broke her promise and Apollo failed her prophecy. In order to get rid of his pursuit, the goddess Daphne became a laurel tree, known as the holy tree of Apollo; He also teamed up with Poseidon to help Troy, build unbreakable walls and so on. About Apollo's theory of sun god, it is because some ancient Greeks seriously confused God. Since the 5th century BC, Helius, the sun god, has been seriously confused with Apollo, the god of art, so Apollo is regarded as Helius, the sun god. However, because Helius was not completely integrated with Apollo in the end, some non-Greek writers later wrote the following words: "After the Battle of Titan, Zeus resurrected the gods, and god of light Apollo demanded the position of king of the sun. Zeus forgot Helius who was on duty and agreed to Apollo's request. In addition, there is a saying that because the son of Helius, the sun god, caused a disaster by driving a solar chariot, Zeus handed over the position of driving a solar chariot to Apollo. " Of course, these "myths" are called by later writers, not written by ancient Greeks, and cannot be regarded as Greek myths. So later, people often confuse Apollo with the sun god and mistakenly think that Apollo is the sun god:-in terms of its medical and destructive functions. Apollo is generally recognized as the sun god, and Apollo's nickname "Phobos" means "cleanliness", "light" and "prophecy". On the one hand, he protects agriculture, on the other hand, his sunshine is regarded as a golden arrow and has the function of a god of war. The common image of Apollo is mostly a young man without long hair, holding a harp, bow, aegis and so on. Apollo was also the god of music and poetry. In charge of the muse. He can arouse all kinds of emotions that people pour into hymns. On Mount Olympus, he held a gold lira in his hand and conducted the Muse Choir in a sweet tone. When he helped Poseidon build the walls of Troy, Rilla played wonderful music, and the stones automatically put in place rhythmically. Once, he accepted the challenge of the mortal musician Mas and took part in a competition. After defeating his opponent, he skinned him to death to punish his arrogance. In another music competition, because he lost to Panshen, he turned the ears of referee Miles into donkey ears. Apollo also had a good side. He once helped Hermes, the son of the goddess of wind and rain, live in the holy mountain of Olympus. For the sake of Hermes, Apollo personally advised Hera. Even in order to succeed, Hermes was transformed into Hera's son Ares, which moved Hera and finally agreed to let Hermes live in the holy mountain. Hermes cheated Apollo and stole Apollo's cattle. But he traded his lyre for Apollo, and Apollo finally forgave him and gave him the cow. However, Apollo looked down on eros, the god of love, and his proposal failed.

[Edit this paragraph] Stories in Greek mythology

The love story between Apollo and Daphne

Apollo and Daphne Once, Apollo saw little love god Cupid playing with bows and arrows. He rudely warned Cupid, "Hey! Bows and arrows are very dangerous things, so children should not play casually. " It turns out that Cupid in little love god has two very special arrows: whoever is shot with a sharp arrow made of gold will immediately ignite the passion of love; If someone is shot by another blunt lead arrow, he will hate love. Cupid didn't believe what Apollo said. While Apollo was not paying attention, he shot the arrow of love at Apollo with a whoosh, and Apollo immediately ignited the flame of love. Just then, a beautiful girl named Daphne came. Naughty Cupid shot a blunt lead arrow at Daphne, and Daphne was immediately disgusted with love. At this time, Apollo, who was shot by the arrow of love, had fallen in love with Daphne deeply, so he immediately confessed to Daphne. But Daphne said unhappily, "Go away! I hate love! Stay away from me! " He ran into the valley like an antelope. But Apollo didn't lose heart in the pursuit of Daphne. He picked up the harp and played beautiful music. No matter who hears Apollo's piano, he can't help coming to listen to his performance. Daphne, who was hiding in the mountains, also heard the beautiful piano and was intoxicated unconsciously. "Where did you get such a touching piano sound? I want to see who is playing. " With that, Daphne had long been fascinated by the sound of the piano and went to Apollo. Apollo, who was hiding behind a big stone and playing the harp, immediately jumped out and hugged Daphne. Daphne ran away when she saw Apollo. Apollo chased after him and shouted, "I am not your enemy, nor a fierce beast, nor an unreasonable fool." Why are you avoiding me? " Although Apollo kept calling Daphne at the back, Daphne ignored it and continued to gallop forward. No matter how fast Daphne runs, he can't outrun Apollo. After running for a long time, Daphne was exhausted and out of breath. Finally, she fell to the ground and watched Apollo catch up. Daphne was so anxious that she shouted, "Help! Help! " At that time, the river god heard Daphne's cry for help and immediately turned her into a laurel tree with his own divine power. I saw Daphne's hair turned into leaves, her wrists into branches, her legs into trunks, her feet and toes into roots, and she was deeply rooted in the soil. Apollo was very sad to see it. He cried sadly with the laurel in his arms, but the laurel kept shaking. Although Daphne has become a laurel, Apollo still loves her. Apollo stared at the laurel tree and said spoonily, "Although you can't be my wife, I will always love you.". I will use your branches and leaves as my laurel, your wood as my harp and your flowers as my bow. At the same time, I will give you eternal youth and will not get old. " Daphne, who became a laurel tree, was deeply moved and nodded her thanks. Perhaps thanks to Apollo, laurel is evergreen all year round, and it is a kind of plant deeply loved by people. Many people can't understand what they are singing when listening to the song "Laurel Goddess", but I especially like this song, not because of the goddess Daphne, but because of god of light Apollo, passionate love and courage, and his eternal love and emotion. I feel sorry for the helplessness of love.

The story of Apollo and Cassandra

Cassandra, or Cassandra, a prophetess in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Priam, king of Troy. Princess of Troy. Persecuted by her stepmother, she was driven out of the palace and deprived of the right to inherit property, thus becoming a nun. As a priestess of the temple of Apollo, she was endowed with the ability to predict fate by Apollo. In return, she was asked to have physical relations with Apollo, but she refused, and Apollo cursed her angrily. The curse on Cassandra was that her prediction hit home, but no one believed it. Moreover, all the predictions she made were unlucky predictions somehow-betrayal, negligence, human death and national destruction. So people not only don't believe her, but also laugh at her and hate her.

Apollo and the chariot of the sun

There are two theories here: the first is that Zeus began to be distracted after the gods of Olympus defeated Titan. Apollo took the opportunity to ask him to drive the sun chariot. At that time, Zeus forgot to promise Helius, the sun god. Later, although the sun god was Helius, it was Apollo who drove the sun chariot. Another way of saying it is that in Greek mythology, Phaeton, the son of Helius, the sun god, always dreamed of driving his father's sun chariot. However, he has no ability to control this gorgeous chariot, nor can he control the galloping horse. Finally, Zeus, the father of the gods, stopped the chariot, saved the young Phaeton, and handed over the right to control the solar chariot to Apollo. In front of Apollo's chariot were several (about four) horses glittering all over. The body is made of gold, and the horses and chariots emit golden light and heat. Because Apollo rode in a sun chariot, many people mistakenly thought that Apollo was the sun god. At this point, in the third game of the famous PS game "God of War", Kratos killed the sun god Helius instead of Apollo, which also proved that the sun god was not Apollo. The statue of the sun god, one of the seven wonders of the world, is not dedicated to Apollo, but to Helius, the sun god.

Colonis

She was Apollo's lover. In order to prevent her daughter from falling in love with Apollo, her father set fire to the temple of Apollo in Delphi, so she was shot by Apollo and sent to hell. Later, Colonis was pregnant with Apollo's child, but she had an affair with someone else. Apollo's god bird, Snow Crow, discovered and reported the news. Apollo sent her sister Moon Goddess to shoot Colonis and her lover Isnis (the child survived, that is, Asclepius, the medical god) and took it out on the informer, turning the original white crow into black. The crow became the god bird of Apollo, which may be the association of dark clouds or the explanation of the sun's black spots.

Calea, the fairy of Shui Ze.

She fell in love with Apollo. Shui Ze's love for the sun is a tragedy. Apollo ignored her, allegedly because she once buried one of Apollo's lovers alive. The fairy sat on the ground, not eating or drinking, and her sad eyes followed the sun god in the sky. I don't know how many days later, Calea gradually connected with the earth and became a sunny flower (marigold, sunflower and the like). Another version is: Calea fell in love with god of light Apollo and watched his carriage cross the sky, but was blinded by the sunlight. God was moved by her, so she turned into a sunflower and her face turned into a disc, so that she could see her sweetheart every day.

That beautiful boy, Ashentos, is a man.

Apollo loved Ganymede as Zeus loved him. Asintos loved hunting and sports, so Apollo accompanied him diligently, holding fishing nets and hounds for teenagers like servants. One day, two people were playing a game of throwing discus (or hoop) in the mountains. Apollo used his magic power, and the discus flew high and far, splitting a white cloud in half. Yaxintos chased happily and was hit on the forehead by a bouncing discus. Another way of saying it is: Feros, the god of the west wind, also likes Asintos. Out of jealousy, he blew the discus with a gust of wind. When Apollo caught up with him, he was very sad. A hyacinthus orientalis flower grew out of a pool of blood. This flower is named after "Yasintos", and the words "Ai" on the petals are engraved with Apollo's eternal sigh and regret.

Juvenile dinosaur

Apollo promised to give her a present. As a result, the girl asked for eternal chastity, and Apollo had to give up reluctantly.

Maiden Martha

Homer called her "Irving North's slim ankle daughter". Apollo fell in love with the girl and took her away by force. But Iddas, the girl's lover, is also a great hero. She chased her in a flying car with a bow and arrow. God and man contend, Zeus mediates. He didn't protect his son (but Iddas was finally killed by Zeus' lightning), but he fairly let the girl choose for herself. This was originally an unquestionable multiple-choice question: Apollo is a peerless handsome guy, and falling in love with him can last forever. However, the girl just chose Iddas's flesh and blood. She doesn't want to maintain moral standards. She said: "I am a mortal and need human sorrow." Really, love and eternal life are contradictory.
