Geocache Description:


APOLLO CACHE

God of the sun, music, and medicine

Apollo and his twin sister Artemis were the children of Zeus and Leto. Born in the little island of Delos, he has been called "the most Greek of all the gods." He is a beautiful figure in Greek poetry: the master musician who delights the gods of Olympus with his golden lyre. He is the archer god--master of the silver bow.

One of his more important daily tasks was to drive the Sun across the sky in his golden chariot. Sometimes he is called the son-god, and Helios is said to be one of his many names. However, in other myths, Helios is separate god.

Apollo is usually shown as a manly, beardless youth of great beauty with a crown of laurel leaves and either the bow or his lyre in his hand.
