Hi guys! I’m sorry about not uploading this Thursday. I’ve got so many things to do during the weekend, so I hadn’t the opportunity to post this weekend so that’s why I’m doing it now. I’m looking through the Internet and I found a Greek God so interesting. He is Apollo. It says that Apollo is the God of music and he is associated with light. I didn’t know that Apollo was a God; I just knew that there is a satellite that it’s called that way. In deep research, according to ancienhistory.about.com, “Apollo is a many-talented Greek god of prophecy, music, intellectual pursuits, healing, plague, and sometimes, the sun. Writers often contrast the cerebral, beardless young Apollo with his half-brother, the hedonistic Dionysus, god of wine. Leto (Latona) and Zeus (Jupiter) are the parents of the versatile god Apollo and his twin sister Artemis (Diana), the virgin hunter. He is depicted as a beardless young man. His attributes are the tripod, omphalos, lyre, bow and arrows, laurel, hawk, raven or crow, swan, fawn, roe, snake, mouse, grasshopper, and griffin.” (ancienthistory.about.com) So guys, if you didn’t know anything about Apollo, the Greek god, this information may be useful to you. Thanks for reading this information and I’ll post next week.

Hey Alan:
ResponderEliminarGreat blog, as always I have always found the different gods that existed in the Ancient Greece very interesting, because of their different types of powers, habilities and other things like that.
So I did not know about this god Apollo but is very interesting to know that existed a god that his major hability is the music, again thats why I like your blog very much, also I did not know about his Dionysus and that his ability is that he is the god of the wine, so I repeat again that greek mythology is very interesting because all the different things that it contains and I like a lot that there is a god for every kind of situation.'
So Alan I hope that you keep impressing us by your very interesting blogs, so thankou and keep posting other interesting stories.
Bye my friend see you next week.
