THE LEGEND OF APOLLO UNVEILED
“Apollo has often been described, not without reason, as the ‘most Greek of the gods’.”
“Apollo, the brightest and the best of the ancient Greek gods, was the god of music, archery, prophecy, healing, the care of animals and young growing creatures; and from the 5th century BC, at least, he was identified with the sun...He was the only Greek god to have specific functions in each of the domains allotted separately to the three gods of the sky (Zeus), the sea (Poseidon), and the earth (Hades).”
“His titles, of which well over 300 have survived in ancient authors and inscriptions on stone, show that Apollo was a god much loved by people in all walks of life.”
“He was the inspiration of a great deal of ancient Greek painting, poetry and music.

And yet, as popular as Apollo was, and as much as has been written about him, historians and mythologists alike are not sure where the god Apollo came from. There is no evidence of his origin in northern Europe, mainland Greece, the Mediterranean, the Middle East or Asia Minor. The best guess by scholars is that Apollo came from somewhere in the East, possibly from ancient Anatolia (now known as Turkey) and possibly even further east.
But they still don’t know.
