Apollo, one of the major Olympian gods, is associated with light, music, prophecy, healing, and order. He symbolizes rationality, harmony, and perfection, often seen as the embodiment of balance between mind and body. His main symbols include the lyre (representing music and poetry), the laurel wreath (victory and honor), the sun (light and truth), and the bow and arrows (precision and power). Apollo is the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and the son of Zeus and Leto. He is also associated with the oracle of Delphi, where he served as the god of prophecy. As a youthful, idealized figure, Apollo represents both physical beauty and intellectual clarity, making him a symbol of civilization and enlightened thought in Greek mythology.
