Apollo,
byname Phoebus, in Greco-Roman mythology, a deity of manifold function
and meaning, one of the most widely revered and influential of all the
ancient Greek and Roman gods. Though his original nature is obscure,
from the time of Homer onward he was the god of divine distance, who
sent or threatened from afar; the god who made men aware of their own
guilt and purified them of it; who presided over religious law and the
constitutions of cities; and who communicated with mortals through
prophets and oracles his knowledge of the future and the will of his
father, Zeus (Roman: Jupiter). Even the gods feared him, and only his
father and his mother, Leto (Roman: Latona), could easily endure his
presence. He was also a god of crops and herds, primarily as a divine
bulwark against wild animals and disease, as his Greek epithet
Alexikakos (Averter of Evil) indicates. His forename Phoebus means
“bright” or “pure,” and the view became current that he was connected
with the Sun
