Apollo was a god of light, a sun-god, without being the sun itself. Because the sun is murderous with its rays which strike like darts, and at the same time beneficient because of its prophylactic powers, Apollo was thought of as an archer-god who shot his arrows from afar as the god of sudden death; but also as a healer-god who drove away illness. Apollo was alos the god of divination and prophecy. Apollo was also a shepherd-god whose mission it was to protect the flocks. Apollo is a musician-god as well, the god of song and the lyre.
