Ancient Roman religionIn Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo (in Greek, ?p?????—Apóllon or ?p?????—Apellon), is one of the most important and many-sided of the Olympian deities. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts; and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu. Apollo was worshipped in both ancient Greek and Roman religion, as well as in the modern Greco-Roman Neopaganism. As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god — the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing were associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius. Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague as well as one who had the ability to cure. Amongst the god's custodial charges, Apollo became associated with dominion over colonists, and as the patron defender of herds and flocks. As the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musagetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functioned as the patron god of music and poetry. Hermes created the lyre for him, and the instrument became a common attribute of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called paeans. In Hellenistic times, especially during the third century BCE, as Apollo Helios he became identified among Greeks with Helios, god of the sun, and his sister Artemis similarly equated with Selene, goddess of the moon.[1] In Latin texts, however, Joseph Fontenrose declared himself unable to find any conflation of Apollo with Sol among the Augustan poets of the first century, not even in the conjurations of Aeneas and Latinus in Aeneid XII (161–215).[2] Apollo and Helios/Sol remained separate beings in literary and mythological texts until the third century CE.

6. Sex, Lies, and Justice: How False Rape Allegations Hurt Both Innocent Men and Victimized Women
November 12, 2009
Cassandras Curse Cassandra was a prophetess who could not be believed. Apollo had given her the gift of foretelling the future, and the gift could not be revoked. When she broke Apollos heart, he quite cleverly robbed her of her credibility (Hamilton). So, when Cassandra predicted her own demise, no one rushed to help. Cassandras curse is an apt metaphor for the skepticism that often meets allegations of both rape and sexual harassment. The incredulity toward complainants is an acknowledged reason that many rapes are never reported. The reasons for the curse are likely more mundane than th... (read more)

As a resident of the Midwest, I have lived all my life with the beauty (and the beast) that is commonly referred to as the changing of the seasons.
