Solar God of the Arts · Music, prophecy and measurement
Son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis, Apollo was born in Delos and established his prophetic sanctuary at Delphi after defeating Python. The lyre, the bow, the laurel and the sun become his main attributes. Leader of the Muses on Parnassus, he personifies the harmony of the arts. His love for Daphne ends when the nymph transforms into a laurel to escape him. The musical competition with Marsyas reveals a crueler side of the god. Poussin balances desire and metamorphosis in Apollo and Daphne. Delacroix transforms victory over Python into a vast luminous battle. Raphael brings together poets and Muses around the lyre, while Guido Reni dramatizes the punishment of Marsyas. There selection "Paintings of Apollo" notably compares Apollo and Daphne - Nicolas Poussin and Apollo, conqueror of the serpent Python - Eugène Delacroix. His reading favors figures.
Apollo embodies measure and light, but his myths remind us that divine harmony can also be imposed through pursuit, combat and punishment.
