Etymology[]

[view · edit · purge]Apollo or Apollon (Ἀπόλλων, Apóllōn) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in ancient Greek mythology. Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more.

[view · edit · purge]There are two versions of harp creation in Greek mythology: Apollo created the harp when he discovered that the sound of his bowstring could heal physical wounds and soothe souls. Another story claims Hermes created the harp by stringing a tortoise shell and giving it to Apollo as a gift. The instrument became a common attribute of Apollo.

[1] The Apollo's Harp attacks by performing spells. Hence, Power replaces Attack.
