helios in roman
The deity most similar to Apollo in Greek mythology would be the Roman god Apollo's equivalent, which is the god Apollo himself. Apollo's counterpart in Roman mythology is the god of the sun and music, so they share many similarities.
Apollo is a Roman god because the Romans adopted many aspects of Greek culture, including their religion. Apollo was originally a Greek god associated with music, healing, and the sun. The Romans identified Apollo with their own god of similar characteristics, and thus he became part of the Roman pantheon.
Apollo is the roman god for Apollo his name doesn't change
Apollo and Apollon are the same god and he is both Greek and Roman. I believe he was adopted into Roman mythology like the other Greek gods but his name did not change.
Apollo is Greek god not Roman.
Apollon was a Hellenic God and the Romans identified him with one of their Gods, calling him Apollo.

Apollo/Apollon
The Roman twin of Apollo is Mercury. In Roman mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the gods, known for his speed and cunning, paralleling Apollo's attributes as the god of prophecy, music, and healing. While Apollo has a more prominent role in Greek mythology, Mercury embodies similar qualities of communication and intellect in the Roman pantheon.
