APOLLO
24 X 36 acrylic on canvas 2003
The archer-god was the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis. Apollo was the god of music, prophecy, colonization, medicine, archery, poetry, dance, and intellectual inquiry. He was also a bringer of death-dealing plague, and was known as the destroyer of rats and locust. Being the god of religious healing, he would give those guilty of murder and other immoral deeds a ritual purification.
