Apollo was a Greek Sun god whose original name was Helios, meaning ‘the Sun’ and he was worshipped as the radiant personification of light. His other names were Phoebus, Cynthius and Pytheus, and he was the son of Zeus and Leto. He was also the god of music, poetry and medicine. He was usually shown dressed in a pure white tunic with golden embroidery, and playing the Greek lyre. Though regarded as a very benevolent god, like all Greek gods, he had his down side. He could become very jealous and did not hesitate in killing his first love, Coronis, with an arrow through the heart because he thought she had been unfaithful. The moral of this story is that love can turn to hate through jealousy, but an arrow through the heart could rebound.
