He seized her and brought her to Lybia (North Africa). She bore him a son named Aristaios. You'll find more on this on Wikipedia see my added link : "Aristaeus son of Apollo and Cyrene"

Apollo is the greek god of the sun, medicine, archery and music.
in the Illiad, "Phoibus" is the name of two gods: Phoibus Helios (the god of the sun) as well as Phoibus Apollo (the god who causes plagues to humanity if he isn't worshipped). Phoibus and Phoebus mean the same thing: "shining." "Phoibus Helios" was the "bright sun" and "Phoibus Apollo" meant "bright sky" because Apollo can also throw lightning bolts (which are his arrows). apollo became so complicated (he ruled over a lot of different things) that over time that we just remember him as god of the sun along with helios. "phoibus" in mythology is a word that is older than "phoebus" therefore it could mean either god since they were separate a long time ago.

Asclepius was indeed the son of Apollo. And he was a greek god. He was said to be Greeces first doctor and the creator of the medicine. His healing powers were great enough to cure the most common of all pains and diseases. But he was too strong. he became so strong that he learned to bring people back to life. Zeus ( the king of the gods) was furious, not because Asclepius was bringing people back from the dead, but the fact he was doing it for pure profit. But the angriest of all the gods was Hades, gof of the undetworld, who now was not meating his quota of souls. Zeus gave him a warning, and Asclepius only followed it for a while. When Zeus heard he had brought another man to life again and was paid, he looked down from the heaven and zapped him with a thunder bolt. Asclepius was now a pile of ash.
Greek god of the west wind rival of Apollo?
The Greek god of the west wind is Zephyrus, who is often associated with spring. Zephyrus is also known for his rivalry with Apollo over Hyacinth, a handsome youth in Greek mythology.
Maybe because Apollo was the Sun God. And when astronots go to space they are sort of going closer to the sun.
In my theory it is mostly because Apollo was Sun God and was considered one of the strongest gods. Also because the space craft was in space so they wouldn't name it Athena or something because Apollo makes more sence.

The speed of an Apollo spacecraft is hard to answer because there are many answers available. The best question would ask something like "What was the maximum speed?", or "what was the average speed during the translunar or transearth phase?" The problem is that the speed of spacecraft was constantly changing.
In order to break out of Earth orbit and reach the moon, an object must travel approximately 24,000 miles per hour. The Apollo spacecraft did just that. However, they didn't maintain that speed. Once they were out of orbit, they simply coasted the entire distance to the moon. Breaking out of Earth orbit does not mean breaking free from Earth's gravity though. The Earth was constantly pulling on the spacecraft, slowing it down. Eventually, the spacecraft got close enough to the moon that that moon's gravity had a stronger effect than the Earth's gravity, pulling the Apollo module forward, causing the module to speed up.
With that in mind, we can provide the speed of Apollo 8 at various events:
At translunar injection, Apollo 8 was traveling at 35, 505.41 ft/sec, or 24,208 mph.
When the spacecraft entered the moon's sphere of influence (when the action of the moon's gravity became stronger than the action of the Earth's gravity on the spacecraft), it had slowed down to 3,261 ft/sec, or 2,223 mph.
When the spacecraft reentered the Earth's atmosphere after returning from the moon, it was traveling at 36,221 ft/sec, or 24,696 mph.
