Apollo Roman/Greek god.... a wonderful Italian statue! Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto. He is the god of music, playing a golden lyre. The Archer, far shooting with a silver bow. The god of healing who taught man medicine. The god of light. The god of truth, who can not speak a lie. Many qualities were attributed to Apollo, for the Ancient Greeks believed that the sun not only gave physical light, but that its light was symbolic of mental illumination. Apollo was also worshipped as the god of music and song, which the ancients believed were only heard where there was light and security. One of Apollo's more important daily tasks is to harness his chariot with four horses an drive the Sun across the sky. 12" tall. 3.5 lbs.
