The Apollo asteroid group is named after the sun god Apollo. These asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and are named after Apollo in reference to the sun's role as a source of life-giving light and energy.
In Greek mythology, Apollo is one of the Olympian gods, usually numbered at twelve, and like many of the Olympians - Athena, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, and his twin sister Artemis- Apollo is a child of Zeus. Apollo is the god of music, poetry, and prophecy. As Phoebus Apollo, he is the god of light. His symbol is the lyre, and he is also known as patron of shepherds. He is the only one of the Olympians to exist in Roman mythology in his own right, called Apollo by Romans as well as Greeks.
Both Apollo and Dionysus were important Greek gods associated with different aspects of life. Apollo was the god of light, music, poetry, and healing, while Dionysus was the god of wine, fertility, ecstasy, and theatre. Despite their differing domains, both gods were worshipped in ancient Greece and played significant roles in the culture and mythology of the time.
In Greek mythology, Apollo is believed to be the son of Zeus and the Titaness Leto. Leto was pursued relentlessly by Zeus's jealous wife, Hera, which led to a difficult pregnancy and Apollo's birth on the floating island of Delos. He was associated with music, healing, and the sun.
The fictional person that a volcano is named after is Mount St. Helens, named after the British diplomat Lord St. Helens.
The company was named after Hermes, the Greek god known for his speed and reliability, to symbolize the speedy delivery and reliability of their services. The choice of the name reflects the qualities associated with the god Hermes.
