Apollo

God of the bow, the lyre and prophecy, son of Zeus and Leto and twin of Artemis, born on Delos after nine days of labour while Hera kept Eileithyia away. The Homeric Hymn has him found his oracle at Crisa, kill the she-dragon whose rotting gave Pytho and "Pythian" their names, and bring Cretan sailors as his priests; the Iliad opens with his plague on the Greek camp.
