Apollo, God of Light & Music

Apollo, twin brother of Artemis and son of Zeus, presided over light, music, prophecy, healing, and the arts. From his sanctuary at Delphi — believed to be the centre of the world — he spoke through the Pythia, guiding kings, philosophers, and ordinary Greeks for nearly a thousand years. He was the patron of the Muses, the bringer of harmony, and the most luminous of the Olympians: an embodiment of reason, beauty, and civilising order in a world still half-wild.
