Who is Apollo?

Apollo was the god of prophecy, music, and healing. Like most of his fellow Olympians, Apollo did not hesitate to intervene in human affairs. The goddesses dazzled by Apollo’s beauty, admired him while he was walking on the island. Right after, Apollo ran over to Olympus to get the blessing of his almighty father, but also to meet the other gods. It was he who brought about the demise of the mighty Achilles. Of all the heroes besieging the city of Troy in the Trojan War, Achilles was the best fighter by far. He had easily defeated the Trojan captain Hector in single combat. But Apollo helped Hector’s brother Paris slay Achilles with an arrow. Apollo killed a terrible dragon named Python and had ten hands and four eyes. The dragon, which looked like a huge lizard had caused numerous disasters in the region. It was shaking springs and rivers turning the waters muddy, destroying crops, devouring flocks, and spooking the Nymphs.
