Apollo
by CTCWeb Editors
Associated Items and Beings
A god or goddess alone is inadequately defined since the people, beings, animals and things associate with a god or goddess say a lot about them. Through visual aids and texts, students can learn about the whole god or goddess by the items, people, beings, animals, and things that accompany them or that are used in their exploits.
Below are citations for selected vases, coins, sculpture, and text that demonstrate and explain the people, beings, animals and things associated with Apollo. Each representative vase, coin and sculpture has been selected for its image clarity and description.
