Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis.

When Hera (Zeus' wife) discovered that Leto was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she banned Leto from giving birth on "terra firma", or the mainland, or any island. In her wanderings, Leto found the newly created floating island of Delos, which was neither mainland nor a real island, and she gave birth there. The island was surrounded by swans. Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the bottom of the ocean. This island later became sacred to Apollo.

Apollo is very important in Greek mythology. His father is Zeus and his mother is Leto. He also has a twin sister named Artemis. He is also the patron for the Pythia.

The Greek myths have no chronology. All the deities have lived forever in no particular years.

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.

We don't know when he was born. If he is there, he was always there.

Apollo is said to be born on the 7th day of the Greek month Thargelion. (which is estimated to be around May 25th)

Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto. But Hera, Zeus's wife was angry at Zeus's philandering. Leto could not find a safe place to give birth to her children for even the land feared Hera's wrath. But finally, she found the floating island of Delos and that's where Apollo and his sister Artemis was born.

The twins, Artemis and Apollo were born on the floating island of Delos, in the Aegan Sea. There was a prohibition given to their mother by the goddess Hera that she not give birth on either land or sea. Since Delos was a floating island it was not against Hera's prohibition.

Also, The island (Delos) was surrounded by swans. Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the bottom of the ocean. This island later became sacred to Apollo.

It is also stated that Hera kidnapped Ilithyia, the goddess of childbirth, to prevent Leto from going into labor. The other gods tricked Hera into letting her go by offering her a necklace, nine yards (8 m) long, of amber. Mythographers agree that Artemis was born first and then assisted with the birth of Apollo, or that Artemis was born one day before Apollo, on the island of Ortygia and that she helped Leto cross the sea to Delos the next day to give birth to Apollo. Apollo was born on the seventh day (ἡβδομαγενης) of the month Thargelion -according to Delian tradition-or of the month Bysios-according to Delphian tradition. The seventh and twentieth, the days of the new and full moon, were ever afterwards held sacred to him.

According to myth, Apollo was immortal, so he did not die.

Apollo is the Greek god of the sun, light, music, poetry, and healing. He is known for his archery skills, as well as being a patron of the arts and prophecy. Apollo is often depicted as young and handsome, with a lyre or bow and arrow.

In Greek mythology, Apollo resided on Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. He was considered one of the Twelve Olympians, the principal deities of the Greek pantheon. Apollo was worshipped as the god of the sun, light, music, poetry, and healing.

He healed many of the Greek gods and humans on earth, he also brought medicine to the earth.

His daily chore was to drive the sun chariot across the sky.

He was the god of culture and learning.

The symbol of the Greek god Apollo is often depicted as a lyre or a bow and arrow. The lyre symbolizes his association with music and poetry, while the bow and arrow symbolize his role as a god of archery and hunting.

The term for a prophetess or human voice of Apollo in the times of ancient Greece and Rome was an Oracle. The most famous oracles tended to be voices of Apollo, such as the Oracle and Delphi. Oracles would enter into trances during which they would offer often surprisingly accurate predictions and answers to questions offered of them. It is noteworthy that most oracles actually dwelled in places where psychotropic gases seeped from the Earth's surface. These gases would often aid in the hallucinagenic properties of the trance, and some say, open a more psychic connection for the oracle.

Apollo was not born, he only appeared and was immortal. If people lost faith in him he'd begin to fade away he wouldn't die.

Greek and Roman gods may be described as bisexual, but none were exclusively gay.

Apollo fell in love with the beautiful women such as Daphne and also fell in love with the handsome men, such as Hyacinth.

Apollo, greek goddess of the sun, had one sister, whose name was Artemis, goddess of the moon and the Hunt.

He wanted to drive Apollo's fiery chariot carring Helios across the sky despite being warned that not even Zeus himself would drive it. He held stead fast saying he would. The chariot began to go out of control and set fire to the ground Zeus himself had to stop the chariot with a lighting bolt.

In most cases, Phaethon was considered a son of Helios, and asked Helios for permission to ride his chariot, since Helios had promised on the river Styx to fulfill his request. Having no other choice, Helios had to allow his son to drive the chariot and get struck by Zeus' lightning bolt.
