The sun chariot
Apollo's responsibilities were to harness his sun chariot and drive it across the sky.
drive the sun across the world everyday
Yes, Neil Armstrong did not drive the lunar rover during the Apollo 11 mission. The lunar rover was used on later Apollo missions in which Armstrong did not participate.
In Greek mythology, Apollo did not drive anything across the sky. The Sun is personified as the god Helios, who drove a chariot across the sky pulled by fiery horses. Apollo is associated with the sun in terms of light and healing properties, but he did not have a direct role in driving the sun across the sky.
Because he wanted to drive the sun chariot.
He did not; that was the task of the Titan Helios.
The road distance from Melbourne to Apollo Bay is 193 km. Depending on traffic, the journey takes around two and a half hours.
In Greek Mythology, Phaeton or Apollo is the son of Helios, the sun god. Phaeton was killed by Zeus when he mismanaged to drive the sun chariot and threatened to burn earth.
The goddess of the dawn, Eos, opens the east gate for Apollo to drive his chariot through at the beginning of each day. This marks the start of the sun rising in the sky as he starts his journey across the sky.
I'm pretty sure he didn't. It was Helios, the sun god, who did that. You might have heard Apollo did because since Apollo is a god of light people can mistake him for the sun god when really he is more a god of spiritual light, not the actual light of the sun.
In Greek mythology, Apollo did not replace Helios; they were separate deities. Apollo was the god of the sun, light, music, and poetry, while Helios was specifically the personification of the sun itself. Helios continued to drive his chariot across the sky, representing the sun, while Apollo had a broader range of associations.
Apollo had a lot of sons. Depends on who the mother was. He had a few sons that were divine (Asclepius, for one) but he had tons of mortal sons.
