important and diverse of the Olympian deities in Greek and Roman mythology.He is worshiped in both ancient Greek and Roman religion, and in the modern Greco- Roman Neopaganism.Why?
Among the crowd of Olympian gods, the one I
son like the best was Apollo. He was the of Zeus and Leto. According to Greek mythology, Leto was driven by Hera from land to land at last. Poseidon took pity on her and brought the island of Delos out of water fo 「 her to live on. There she gave birth to the twins , Apollo and Artemis.
Apollo was the sun-god. He wore a purple robe.
He usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in the morning and made ready to start his daily journey across the sky. During the day he roved his carriage of gold and ivory , and brought light, life and love to the great world below, late in the afternoon he came to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on
村治 golden boat to return to his eastern home. In other
words, Apollo symboled for light, hope, diligence. This is was the most important reason why I think Apollo the god most widely admired. The world had a won't fade of flowers, that was light. It would open as long as there were people place. Light was the world's most pure, was also the most warm. Light is always illuminating our future. Let us march forward courageously, will never be destroyed. It is well known that we exist in a world with various difficulties. When we are faced with them, nothing is more important than hope. With hope ,we can find sometimes the question is not as "huge" as we imagine. Without hope, we can not t「y and exert our strength, and then we will overcome all problems and challenges. If we face the difficulties with hope, then nothing is impossible, brave it out and just do it! Diligence is the key to success. It means persisting in one's work. It does not mean exerting ourselves all day and all right without rest, food and sleep. The true meaning of diligence is to use time carefully for purpose of improvement, or to work persistently without wasting time. So I think it also is the reason why Apollos job is to tell human when is sunrise and sunset. Laziness makes us useless. If we do not study and work hard we shall not be able t0 earn a living in our community. There will be nothing we can do just because we have failed to learn anything by letting the time pass unused. An English proverb says; lost time is never found again' time is precious and is one of those many things that cannot be purchased with money. Therefore, we make good use of our time and study hard when we are young. Lazy hands make a man poor, while diligent hand s bring wealth.
Apollo was the god of music. He could stir up all
feelings. These feelings are expressed in lofty songs. This is the reason why I like Apollo. As is known to all, we we are can drown our sorrow in music when unhappy. Music can comfort us and make us happy. So there is much pleasure in listening to music. Besides, music attaches great help to improving our study efficiency, which is because music is more than just sound. It's a way of thinking. When we listen to music, we are becoming better thinkers too. Furthermore, it is music that makes us get familiar with colorful cultures and broadens our horizons. In addition, there is no doubt that when we are appreciating English songs, we can develop our English listening skills at the same time., music is a magical thing which can free us from sadness. As the proverb says, music is a special gift.
What's more,Apollo is infatuated with Daphne. Daphne
was a lovely fairy.One day when she play in the forest,she found Apollo with admiration in his eyes staring at her.Unluckly,Daphne did not love Apollo.So she crossed the desert and fo「est woods in order to keeping far way from Apollo.But Apollo love Daphne so much, he begged his beloved maiden to slow down. He is afraid of fairies in the stone road might fall and hurt her sparkling skin.Finally,with Daphnes father help,Daphne turned into a laurel tree.Apllo heave great sighs to embrace the trunk. To show his undying love for the maiden, he decided that the laurel would be his favorite tree, and decided to use it as a kind of honor and prestige of the award, granted it to those eternal poets and poetry.Although Daphne did not love Apllo,Apllo still love her and dedicated all his life to his beloved maiden. I learn much f「om Apllo's love.For example,to the world y°u may be one peron,but to one person you may be the world;Love can overcome everything.Love has no age,no limit and no death and Human nature is so constructed that it gives affection most readily to those who seem least ti demand it.etc.
All in all,Apollo represents order,harmony,and civilization in
a way that most other Olympian deities cannot quite equal.He is most often associated with the cultivated arts of music and medicine,and his role as the leader of the muses establishes him as a patron of intellectual pursuits.So I love him best.
