Why is Apollo's symbol a snake?

It isn't. Apolla's symbol is the sun, the harp, and golren arrows.

Hermes' symbol is the snake wrapped around a winged stick.

The snake is a common symbol for wisdom.

Apollo's son Asclepius has the symbol of a single snake wrapped around a staff (the symbol seen on most ambulances). Asclepius is technically the god of medicine, but Apollo frequently takes on the role of god of healing himself. Snakes are seen as a symbol of rejuvenation because of their ability to shed their skin, and many people believe that in ancient Greece, snake venom was prescribed as a therapy.

Does Apollo hate Ares?

No he doesn't, he actually likes him.

If the Iranian mystery god Mithra was called the sun of righteousness why is God also called the Sun of Righteousness in Malachi 4 verse 2?

In early Zoroastrianism, Mithra was the Lord of Fire and Lord of the Sun, although Hvar was the spirit of the sun. In time, Mithraism developed from Zoroastrianism, with Mithras as the sun god. "Righteousness" in the context of moral good was an important part of Zoroastrian belief. Quite a few Zoroastrian concepts entered Judaism during the Babylonian Exile. Second Isaiah wrote of "righteousness" during the Babylonian Exile more frequently than any other Old Testament author had. He used the word in the sense of moral good rather than of belief in God, as used elsewhere in the Old Testament. The actual term "Sun of Righteousness", found in Malachi, is not necessarily derived from Zoroastrianism, and may be a coincidence. However, the alternative explanations are too complex to cover in an online session.

What do the colors of the Norwegian bunad represent?

In most cases it doesn't represent anything -at least nothing spiritual- other than perhaps what colors were available and to which cost. But it is possible that the sami "kofte" -which could be viewed as a bunad- has colors with meaning.

Also, the different colours may tell you from where the bunad is. The most places have their own bunad.
