In Greek mythology (神话), one of the most famous gods is Apollo, the son of Zeus and Leto.
Apollo was the sun - god. He wore a purple robe (长袍). He usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in the morning and made ready to start his daily journey across the sky.
During the day, he drove his carriage (马车) of gold and ivory to bring light, life and love to the great world below. Late in the afternoon, he came to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden boat to return to his eastern home.
Apollo was the god of music and poetry. He could stir up (唤起) all feelings. These feelings are expressed in beautiful songs.
With his gold lyre (竖琴) and sweet voice, he led the choir (合唱队) of the Muses at Olympus. His son, Orpheus, took over such a skill from the father that his lyre moved man and animals as well.
Apollo stood for youthful and manly beauty. His golden hair, stately (庄严的) manner and noble (高贵的) air all combined to make him the admiration of the world.
