Apollo is mostly known for being the God of The Sun and Light. But he is also the god of poetry, healing, music, plagues, knowledge, order, prophecy, beauty, agriculture, and archery. Like his father Zeus, Apollo gets in trouble over love. Birthplace: On the sunny Greek island of Delos, where he was born along with his twin sister, Artemis. Another tradition gives the islands of Lato, now called Paximadia, off the southern coast of Crete. Spouse: Apollo was never married.
