Dear readers, I’m curious. With respect to Apollo, is there anythng in particular that you’d like to see me write about here? I’ve got ideas, but they’re often difficult for me to put into coherent words that others might understand.
And so, in the meantime, I am soliciting suggestions. Comment here, or drop an email to painandlight at gmail dot com.
In other news, my copy of Fritz Graf’s Apollo is shipping out today, and I do plan to order Apollo: The Great God, which I mentioned a few weeks back, probably in a few weeks. I will post reviews (or at least some thoughts) on both books when I have read them.
How about Apollon’s relationship to other deities?
Any in particular? (Yeah, I know who you’re thinking…one anyway :-P)
I think I’d be most interested in Zeus, Hermes, Leto, and to throw you a curve ball … Poseidon. π
I vote adding Apollo-Hera on there (or Apollo-Artemis-Hera)… Despite being yet more of Zeus’ kids-with-other-wimmins, there doesn’t seem to be really any lingering dislike between them and I’d like to know why. π
And of course also; Apollon-Aphrodite or -Eros. π Pleeeeeeease?
Awww, man…I was afraid someone would say Hera…lol. I’m not sure offhand that there ever was any Apollo-Hera interaction. (Directly anyway, after Apollo was born.) Will have to look into it now I guess. Same with Apollo and Eros.
I keep hearing in non-primary sources about Artemis supposedly being badly-treated by Hera, but hell if I’ve ever seen where it actually happened in the myths.
