The story of Apollo, the sun god

The story of Apollo and Daphne originated from The Metamorphosis by Roman poet Ovid.

Zeus has a son and a daughter.

The son's name is Apollo.

He is a handsome boy, and he is very powerful.

The sun god is in charge of the sun.

Daughter is the "moon goddess" in charge of the moon.

Once, Apollo saw little love god Cupid playing with bows and arrows. He rudely warned Cupid, "Hey! Bows and arrows are very dangerous things. Children should not play with them casually.

"little love god Cupid has two very special arrows. Anyone who is shot with a sharp arrow made of that gold will be madly in love with the first person he meets, no matter who he is. If a blunt arrow made of lead hits a person, the first person he meets later will be very disgusted and disgusted.

Cupid didn't believe what Apollo said. When Apollo wasn't looking, he whizzed the golden arrow at Apollo. Just then, a beautiful girl named Daphne came. Naughty Cupid shot a blunt lead arrow at Daphne. Apollo has a crazy love for Daphne, but Daphne has an inexplicable dislike for Apollo.

At this time, Apollo, who was shot by the arrow of love, had fallen in love with Daphne deeply and immediately expressed his affection for her. But Daphne was very unhappy and said, "Go away! I hate you, stay away from me! " Said, and ran to the valley like an antelope.

Apollo was particularly puzzled, but he didn't lose heart in the pursuit of Daphne. He picked up the harp and played beautiful music. No matter who hears Apollo's piano, he can't help coming to listen to his performance.

Daphne, who was hiding in the mountains, heard the beautiful piano and was intoxicated unconsciously. "Which come so touching piano? I want to see who plays it. At some point, Daphne was fascinated by the sound of the piano and came to Apollo. Apollo, who was hiding behind a big stone and playing the harp, immediately jumped out and hugged Daphne.

Daphne ran away when she saw Apollo. Arrow chased after him and shouted, "I am not your enemy, nor a fierce beast, nor an unreasonable fool." Why are you avoiding me? " Daphne doesn't know why she hates Apollo. Apollo kept shouting at Daphne in the back, but Daphne still ignored it and continued to fly forward.

However, Daphne can't outrun Apollo. After running for a long time, Daphne was exhausted and out of breath. Finally, she fell to the ground and saw that Apollo was about to catch up. Daphne was so anxious that she shouted, "Help! Help! 」

At this time, the river god heard Daphne's cry for help and immediately turned her into a laurel tree with his own divine power. I saw Daphne's hair turned into leaves, her wrists into branches, her legs into trunks, her feet and toes into roots, deeply rooted in the soil.

Apollo saw it and regretted it. He cried sadly with the laurel in his arms, but the laurel kept swinging. Although Daphne has become a laurel, Apollo still loves her. He said to Guishu spoonily, "Although you can't be my wife, I will always love you. I will use your branches and leaves as my laurel, your wood as my harp and your flowers as my bow. At the same time, I will give you eternal youth instead of getting old. 」

Daphne, who became a laurel tree, was deeply moved and nodded her thanks. Perhaps because of Apollo's blessing, laurel is evergreen all year round and is a very popular plant. Later, people crowned the winners, and their allusions came from this myth and legend.

The story of Apollo and Cassandra Cassandra, or translated Cassandra, a prophetess in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Priam, king of Troy. Princess of Troy.

Persecuted by her stepmother, she was driven out of the palace and deprived of the right to inherit property, thus becoming a nun. As a priestess of the temple of Apollo, she was endowed with the ability to predict fate by Apollo. In return, she was asked to have physical relations with Apollo, but she refused, and Apollo cursed her angrily. The curse on Cassandra was that her prediction hit home, but no one believed it.

Moreover, all the predictions she made were unlucky predictions somehow-betrayal, negligence, human death and national destruction. So people not only don't believe her, but also laugh at her and hate her.

Colonis, she was Apollo's lover. In order to prevent her daughter from falling in love with Apollo, her father set fire to the temple of Apollo in Delphi, so she was shot by Apollo and sent to hell.

Later, Colonis was pregnant with Apollo's child, but she had an affair with someone else. Apollo's divine bird, the snow-white crow, discovered and reported the news. Apollo sent his sister, Moon Goddess, to shoot Colonis and her lover, Isnis (the child survived, that is, the medical god Asclepius), and took it out on the informer, turning the originally snow-white crow into black.

The crow became the god bird of Apollo. Asclepius (Σ σ λ ι π ο, asklêpios/ Asclepius, "cut"): doctor, son of Apollo, the sun god, and Koronis, the princess of Thessaly.

But when Colonis was pregnant, she fell in love with the mortal Iskis. The angry Apollo sent his sister themis, the moon god, to shoot her.

At the time of cremation, Apollo rescued the unborn Asclepius from the body and gave it to Kay Long Xing, a wise centaur. Kerong brought up Asclepius and taught him to study medicine and hunt.

Asclepius's medical skills are getting better and better. She got an incredible little bottle of Gorgon's blood from Athena, the goddess of wisdom: from the left blood vessel, it is a deadly poison; But if you take it from the blood vessel on the right, this blood can bring people back to life. Zeus, the great god, was very angry about this incident, because it threatened the "immortality" only possessed by God, so he killed Asclepius with lightning.

In retaliation, the enraged Apollo shot and killed the cyclops Zeus. Zeus flew into a rage and sent Apollo to Troy to build a wall for mortals, but he also lifted Asclepius to the sky and turned him into Ophiuchus. People also regard Asclepius as the god of medicine.

His image is a middle-aged man with a beard and a snake stick. In Rome, he was called Ezcurra. Asclepius's wife is "comfort" goddess Epie (η π ι ν ν? Pionê/Epione), and his children are all medical gods: Macaon/Machaon (Greek military doctor); Podaleirios/Podalirius: Greek military doctor; Iasso (ι α σ ω,Ias? /Iaso): the goddess of the healing system; Egeler (α ι γ λ η, Aiglê/Aegle): the goddess of "glory"; Xu (γ ε ι α, Hygeia/Hygea): goddess of health; Panacea (π α ν α κ ε ι α, pana keia/ panacea, "total treatment"): medical goddess; Akeso/Aceso (α κ ε σ ο): the goddess of "treatment".
