What does towards phoebus lodging mean in romeo and Juliet?

Phoebus is another name for the god Apollo, who is the only god who was called by the same name by Romans and Greeks. Apollo was god of an awful lot of different things, but one of those things was light and the sun. Therefore, "Phoebus' lodging" is the place where the sun lives. Juliet says "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds towards Phoebus' lodging"; the "fiery-footed steeds" are the horses that draw the chariot of the sun across the sky. She wants them to hurry up "gallop apace" so they can go home to the west when the sun sets. She wants the sun to set as quickly as possible because then it will be night and that is when Romeo is coming to her bed.
