Apollo. Light and Harmony
Description
The Greeks also called Apollo, Phoebus - brilliant one, perpetually reborn, who shoots darts from afar, and who incorporates the radiant characteristics of the sun. In this program, we learn about Apollo's mother Leto, his birth on the island of Delos, his twin sister Artemis, Python and Pythia, and the oracle of Delphi. Also discussed are Cassandra's prediction of the fall of Troy; Apollo and the concept of spiritual cleansing; and Apollo and the lyre. The stories are told of Apollo and Daphne, Hyacinthus, Marsyas, Asclepius, and the centaur Chiron.
