Because it was said that he had no darkness within him, which is not entirely true as there are many stories where he is cruel. Another reason may be that he is often called Phoebus, and the god of the sun, although accurately the god of the sun is Helios, son of the titan Hyperion. It could also be because his sister, Diana, is goddess of the moon Phoebe and Selene, although neither name was truly hers.
Phoebus seems to be the cloesest answer. He was linked to the Greek god Apollo, god of light.
Apollo was the god of music, light, and reason.
Apollo's Nicknames in my opinion were the god of mice, the god of music, and the god of Light
First off, Apollo is not the "sun god." Helios is the god of the sun. Apollo is the god of prophecy, music, and healing. He is also known to be the god of light. Not the sun. The sun is a source of light, but not light itself.
Apollo is Apperenly the god of light/the sun.

Apollo was the god of light, therefore his powers would be about wisdom and light
Apollo's religious views? apollo was a mythical god of Greece. He was the son of Zuess and Leto. Apollo was the god of music, healing, truth, and god of light. Apollo, being a god had no views on religion.
It symbolizes that the Apollo program, being named for the Greek god of light, is shedding light in the dark of space.
