What did Apollo the Greek god give to mortals?
He is god of prophecy, light, art, music, medicine, plague, healing, archery, and is the second Great God of the Sun (the first being Helios). He, as well as his son Asclepius (another god of healing) along with Hermes comprise the 3 most important Gods of Medicine in the Greek Pantheon. When infuriated, one of Apollo’s most fearsome acts is to launch arrows of plague into his enemies. As God of healing, he could bestow or deny health and wellbeing.
