"Rediscovering
the Temple of Apollo"
©2002
Here
we see the ruins of Delphi, the famous oracular temple in which
Priestesses of Apollo would speak their prophecy. Apollo (here
shown as both the beautiful youth, as well as a traditional painting
from a Greek vase) would later be associated with Helios, the
God of the sun.
Apollo
is associated with male beauty, law, order, music, and healing.
He defeated the dragon Python, and like many other Olympian Gods,
was known to have love affairs with other men.
