Mythic Monday: Apollo God of Light

Apollo by Charles Meynier – public domain via Wikimedia

God of the golden bow

and of the golden lyre,

and of the golden hair,

and of the golden fire.

John Keats

Love, love, love these words. I cannot count how many times I recited this to my son during his childhood. What do you feel when you gaze up Meynier’s painting?

Cheers & Happy Reading!

  1. Lovely Keats’ lines! There was a widespread cult of Apollo, something the other gods didn’t benefit. But if we think that he was multi gifted – healer, light, prophetic deity ( oh how I love this aspect), no wonder he inspired authors.
    Thanks for the lovely lines and image!
    For me it’s a suggestion of enchantment, joy, free spirit.
