Apollo was most known for his Lyre and his picture with the serpent(medicine). This picture is used for the symbolanything dealing with medicine today. He was'nt known for any weapons at all.

The Olympian Gods Included,Zeus, Hera, Poseidon Hades, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Haphaestus, Hestia, Hermes, Demeter, and Dionysus. Even though all the gods had they're own powers, Apollo had many different ones. He had to pull the Sun across the sky,could'nt suffer from any Earthly disease,superhuman speed,immortality, and he could also lift up to 40 tons. Apollo was also one of the more stronger god out of all of the olympian's.

Now even though Apollo was liked by most of the gods he had a few enemies [|Python],[|Cronus], [|Typhon], and [|Mikaboshi]. Although Cronus was a member of the Olympian god class and was Apollo grandfather He was stilll his greatest enemy.

According to __**"Greek and Roman Mythology"**__ since he was a god he was immortal. So thus, he had never died. Although Theodosius banned Pagan religious practices many people still worshipped Apollo and still do.

The origin of his name is unknown, although there are many questions on where, **apollumi** “the destroyer”, **apolusis** “redeem”, **apolousis** “purification”, **aploun** “simple” or “unity”, **aei-ballon** “ever-shooting”, and **apella** “assembly."

So in my own opinion Apollo Is AWESOME! I mean come on he was a god over MORE THAN three things and was handsome. How many gods you know wwas a god of more than three things? Yeah Apollo Is The Business. Would I be his friend OF COURSE! I don't know he was just awesome like that.
