Apollo - Roman Mythology

Apollo was one of the most important gods of the Roman religion. His parents were Jupiter and Latona. He had a twin sister by the name of Diana who was commonly known as Artemis the virgin huntress.

Apollo was the god of prophecy, archery, and music. Apollo had a very large fight with the earth serpent Python. Python was the child of Gaia, mother earth. She created a crack in the rock where the Priestess, the Pythia could answer every question that was asked of her. Apollo slew Python and took its place as the oracle.

Since Apollo killed Python he had to do penance for his crime. Apollo was sent to be a slave of a mortal man on two occasions for repentance of his crimes by Zeus.
 
Apollo was very interested in healing, which many believe he was associated with the plague and the controlling of plague throughout the Roman Empire.

One of Apollo’s important duties every day was to harness his chariot and drive the sun across the sky with four horses. Among his unique traits, Apollo was also known as the god of light, thus driving the sun across the sky. He was also known as the god of truth and could not ever speak a lie.
