Best Answer

He's the sun-god (not to be confused with the Sun himself, Helios), god of light and music.

He was a beautiful young man, brother of Artemis (goddess of hunters and the moon). They both wore bows with them and were exceptionally good shots. He also had a lyre, and often played it and sang for the gods' enjoyment, at their feasts.

Apollo was also known as a god of oracles. The Oracle at Delphi was in his charge.

Proud, arrogant and cruel:

* He and his sister killed Niobe's children because she had insulted their mother, Letho, by saying her children were just as beautiful as those the goddess had borne * He also skinned Marsyas alive, as punishment for having almost won a music competition.

Rash and impetuous:

* killed his faithful lover, the bearer of his son, Asclepyos, over a raven's gossiping.
