He is essentially a God of High Civilization because so many things that he rules over are the fruits of high civilization and essential to it. I have also heard he is the God of city building and organized planning which is also associated with high civilization.
It has to do with him being consulted on major decisions, such as founding cities, establishing laws, , etc, and thus a reflection of his illuminated mind and speech-acts that set things in motion or establish law.
Apollo’s the god of music, art, plague, truth, healing and light as well as prophecy he’s amazingly cunning and fond of crows, he’s also best friends to Hermès who stole his whole flock of cattle and might I say didn’t get away with that
Absolutely magnificent! As a Hellenic Neo Pagan, I love everything on this topic... Please keep it up, Greek Mythology certainly is rich in Lore. You sir have another subscriber
If you haven't or don't already plan to, might you do a video on Artemis? I love your interpretations of different accounts of how they are precieved by the people of the time.
This is the second video I've seen and I just had to subscribe! Such excellent analysis combining etymology, archeology and symbolism. (Also saw the three-wheeled swan chariot and was reminded of the Vedic Ashvins and their chariot!)
In revelation 9:11 (the reason why Babylonian America calls 911 for emergencies...) He is named Abaddon, Apollo/Appolyon. He is a king and angel and a son of the Father God in Christianity same as he is I these other myths, son of the Father God of their pantheon
@@FortressofLugh Would you have told the story of Daphne or Narcissus with them being plants from the start? That doesn't make any sense. It also doesn't explain why you showed a woman being pursued in a way that implies she is the beloved in the story.
Apollo and Heracles somewhat remind me of Lugh and the sons of Tuireann, especially the most prominent son Brian. The sons slay Lugh's father; Cian, and must be absolved from this deed by Lugh, in order to do so, the sons must go and do many labors to retrieve magic items for Lugh, like the labors of Heracles. in the end the sons die, just as Heracles does when he is shot by the poison arrow of the centaur (perhaps like the plague filled arrows of Apollo) before he ascends to god-hood. Tuireann of course has been etymologically linked to Taranis, who is thought to be the Gaulish reflex of Indo-European Perkwunos, and Heracles is also thought to be the Indo-European Perkwunos. Apollo and Lugh are very similar, having connections to arts, ranged weapons, justice, the sun, wolves, and the slaying of evil beings. I wonder if these two stories are reflexes of the struggle between the warrior storm god Perkwunos, and the enlightened justice god of many names.
You should read into his "grandfather" of sorts, in Greek mythology he was known as the Titan Cronos, but he has other names, many other names, and is present in most mythology. Deep rabbit hole to go down but judging by this post, you'll love it 🙏
There's an amazing relief in Acropolis museum, we're Niobe is depicted trying to save her daughter from Artemis...the horror on her face is astonishing.
I really enjoyed this. You do a lot of research for your videos, and it shows! Are there any plans to do a video on Apollo's son, Snek Doctor? There aren't many videos on Asclepius sadly, and the ones that do exist don't delve much further than his wiki entry. It's a shame, because he really breaks the mold and is a fairly unique deity.
The slaying of the dragon by the light sounds a lot like not only some biblical narrations of the defeat of leviathan. But sounds a lot like the symbolism to consciousness realizing its dominion over and within kundalini or the electrical energy of.the spine (staff/shaft/tree). Nervous system also referred to as tree of life. Third eye being the light dwelling above the bottom where the serpent energy lays dormant for most part. Highly thought provoking in the sense of priests and mysticism
Gaia would be like the Maya on this sense to add onto this provocation of correlations ahaha Maya being the illusory world of the senses aka nature. As Gaia could be referred to in this same sense thus apollo becoming the ruler. Consciousness over the illusory perception of senses
@@gandrazmaj8137 It took me a while but I did notice similarities between Cernunnos and Chernobog as well as Belenus and Belobog. Especially the former because I didn't think Cern and Chern would possibly have the same etymology.

-All from the biblical king of Babylon, Nimrod ... -really his false reincarnation, as son, Tammuz ( first unholy trinity ). -Tammuz was born unto his unfaithful wife Semiramis whose aldutery bore the child. She wanted to retain power as Queen in Babylon, so she conceived a story, whence she claimed the slain king nimrod came to her in a dream touched her belly and impregnated her w/child that was to be his reincarnation. -Nimrod than ascended to become the sun god. -Tammuz was born, and later married his mother Semiramis ( similar to the Oedipus Rex tale ). *The Most High God of Israel destroyed the tower of babyl, breaking up all the languages of the world ( babyl - confusion; Lon - land of = land of confusion ). This is the primary reason we see so many similarities between all these pagan gods and their stories. Other examples: - Odin, Frigi and Thor in Norse mythology - Osiris, Isis, Horace and sun god Ra in Egypt - Jupiter, Venus, Mars in Roman mythology - Enki, Anu, Enlil ( Enki’s brother - equivalent to Osiris’ brother Set in Egypt ).... - Quetzocuatal ( Aztec mythology ) * sol invictus * libertas ( lady liberty 🗽) * Gaia * all the stared examples above are Semiramis or the moon goddess. - and on and on and on.... we see these same characters in EVERY mythology in the history of the mankind. all from the biblical king of Babylon. I would go into more detail here but I’m just giving the cliff notes. All glory, honor and praise be to the Great I Am, The Most High God and His one Begotten son Immanuel ( immanu - with us is; el - God = with us is God ) also known as the messiah Christ, Jesus! Grace and peace be with you all.
Legitimately just opened RU-vid thinking "please be a new long Sun God video" and by the gods if this video wasn't the first one in my feed! I've been long extricating the nature of Apollo's holy light from the late Sun God associations, so this is likely Exquisitely aligned with my studies! 💖🎻💖

The letter Y is called ipsilon pronounced eepsilon ee as in eel, which means the high ee as in eel. It is not pronounced as oo as in wool. Thus dactylon is pronounced dacteelon as in eel.
actually in ancient greek, before the letter went through the process of “ioticisation” (i believe that’s the term) it was pronounced more of a u sound. so yes the “wool” pronunciation is more correct. in modern greek it has more of a y sound like “eel”
@@peterhoulihan9766 I'm not familiar with the details but yes. I believe it's realted to his actions during the trojan war when he shot fiery arrows at the greeks. That's the aspect they were worshiping.
My personal reading is that Apollo is derived from Avestan Apara, meaning something like "one who separates". I support this by the curious fact that the names of Apolos sisters in Greek, Artemis, and Latin, Diana, both appear to have their origin in Iranian terms with closely related meanings. Artemis potentially comes from Asha Amesha, with the meaning Eternal Truth, and Diana potentially coming from Daena, and meaning something like Dharma; the Eternal Truth/Natural Law.
Beautiful narrative of God Apollo. He was exquisite and the patron God protector of the Female Goddess every of rose pink flame hence the temple of Delphi
You can see the old Phrygian god Aplu in Apollo. Fantastic information. Do you know how the myth of the warrior Hykinthos friend of Apollo like Hector killed by Theseus became the young boy killed by Zeohyr,
Maybe clan kin with you a ways back. Your insights into trinities and ties between regional cults has been amazing to hear. I've been largely ignorant of Celt/Gael myth up until now. Your info on Lugh and trinities has caused me to connect dots I didn't before. Kronus/Zas/Apollo made some weird things click, especially regarding Apollo's cthonic aspects. Did you know Hermes and Apollo share the same planet?
So there's a Greek word, "Abeton", which means "the most sacred space" or se suxch... It refers to a pit incertain temples, in which the faithful descend, cleanse themselves, and wait for the temple god to arrive and dine with, answer prayers, be awesome. And there's a character in the bible named "Abbadon" who is called "Lord of the Pit". Abbadon also has the name "Apollyon". Sup with that? Apollo is not the sun. He is WAY more mysterious. Son of Leto, the Hidden One...his mystery is greatly important
I wonder if you're thinking about doing a video on the desperate wish of many modern people to find ancient matriarchal religions and societies, and the ways in which they cunningly disparage Yamnaya-descendant religions and societies for that end. There is an obvious disdain and hatred for anything ancient and European permeating society right now, and it's been this way for a while. I think a video on the origins of this and how to deal with / survive this would be helpful.
The feminine was very well represented in Greek tradition. It is a shame that at present people have sought to distort history and ancient beliefs to fit a particular modern narrative.
"There is an obvious disdain and hatred for anything ancient and European permeating society right now" If you can say this in spite of the positive (if not especially competent) media representations of ancient European stuff being literally unavoidable, you're just having a winge. Live action and animated films and series, books, comics, video games, website, toys, etc all depict this stuff positively, and we're currently seeing a massive surge of interest in things like HEMA (from all parts of Europe). No reasonable person could possibly come to that conclusion. That is clearly a reactionary position, and not remotely respectable.

Always loved learning about Greek religion. Might be a bit foreign feeling from a Celtic perspective (especially the Greek fixation on Goddesses and Apollo’s use of arrows instead of javelins) but the similarities are equally obvious.
Oh. I see. Slingshots and javelins were used side by side in Celtic lands. Most myths about Balor’s death mention Lord Lug using a sling. I’m aware that slings were quite popular. Javelins were popular, as well. The Irish even made special javelins in the 16th century with barbed heads and arrow fletchings.
It's actually not a religion but philosophy and it's not mythology like how people used to call it but decoding and everything has a meaning. The only issue is that you can not understand the meaning 100% if you don't speak Greek because you can't translate some Greek words in other languages. The Greek religion is based on philosophy. Greek's were forced into Christianity and all Greek philosophers were killed by Christians. Some Greeks are unfortunately too brainwashed but there are many Greeks who do not accept Christianity. The real Greek religion is a philosophy that teaches people that they were created by God and God made them like him and not inferior to him and teaches through philosophy how they can take advantage of the powers they have to become better, especially the power of their mind. Εxactly the opposite of Christianity which talks about a god who punishes when you don't fear him. The twelve gods are symbolic and symbolize the strengths and weaknesses that humans have.
If you study mythology thoroughly, in all it's aspects, you'll come across the fact that most modern religions have a duality with multiple beings from ancient religions. Apollo for instance is commonly related to St. Michael, in Greek mythology he was the son of Zeus or Jupiter if you like, and grandson of Cronos, or Saturn... which is why it is interesting. His grandfather has a very interesting history, he is one of the few deities that can be found in all known religions in one form or another. Considering the fact that St. Michael in some aspects is the grandson of the black cube is a very deep rabbit hole to go down
The Hittites are critical. The most significant key to history is the Hittites. In reality the smallest point is the most complex to mentally process: The Hittites & Hebrews NEVER consisted, ever, no where, at no time. Such a simple established fact and such a mind blowing gut wrenching mystical impossibility.
My friend you're litteratur is quite good and you're content ambiance is setting thee mood of seriousness of thee gods one could say thee rays of Apollo descended upon thee
I'm confused about what you said about Delphi. I've read some things that say there was in fact some volcanic activity in the area and there could have been gas seeping from a fissure. There are also two ancient writers (i don't remember which ones) who reported a sweet smell coming from the oracle's room. How did you conclude that there's no evidence of this gas?
Dear god you people are insane. There's a reason it's called "mythology" they are basically story tales from the ancient world. I have nothing to do with reality.
18:36 I need to ask, is the torment of the Giant supposed to be an earlier version of Prometheus' myth or is that just a normal torture for immortal beings in Greek mythology?
The serpent(Drakon) Python was the wisdom Goddess, the titans being the stewards of a golden age. The Delphi story tells of a retrogressive transition Apollo representing the Pantheon and in all probability was an alter ego of Zeus. Apollo was also known as the wolf god there is a temple dedicated to Apollo at lycios which literally translates as wolf god. Interestingly the founders of Rome Romulus and Remus were also suckled by a she wolf as infants indicating the continuation of the cult.
Titans are moreso representatives of the Matriarchal tribes and Gods of the Pre-IE/Pre-Aryans. Above all, Saturn/Kronos who represented Time itself, and the Times of Old that wishes to consume and resented Youth and Timelessness. Apollo transcends the "cycle", but if the cycle exists for those like the Olympians and Zeus, then it would actually be a transition from the Kali Yuga or Age of Wolves or Lead, back into the Golden Age.
@@bradsmithy4380 Sons and Daughters reflect attributes of the progenitor that without remain unexpressed. Athena is the most obvious example being born from the head of Zeus exemplifying wisdom and strength in battle.
If the Dragon is the Goddess, then her son is the Wolf/Coyote. So, yes, this is the alter ego of Zeus in the sense that the Lion was supposed to be God #2 and was considered the alter ego of Jupiter. Our problem is that the Goddess who was a Lion was seen as the one crying (Aquarius & Leo depending on the era) ... in our case the Flood arrives in Capricorn. Different people had God #2 as Jupiter or Dionysus (a better pick). So what one people might call Lucifer another people could call the Son of Man or the Lord or the Beast or any number of other things! The key to the problem is figuring out which one comes as a god of darkness like Camazotz. See Amos or Joel. They knew. Soon our Plague will give way to the Shadow of Death.
@@kenmcclellan We are all sons/daughters of the creator even the bad guy's so what you say makes some sense however the Lion is not god(creator) it symbolises the anointed one or saviour. This of course is the story of Heracles and the Nemean Lion,Heracles was yet another pseudonym of Zeus also being known as Baal, Melqart, Ammon,Yahweh etc. Regards.
I will make another video on Apollo shortly with some footage from Greece as I was able to make it to some of the temples (unfortunately not Delphi this time) This video was unfortunately demonetized for some reason I don't even understand.
Revelation 9:11 (same reason Babylonian America dials 911 for emergencies) speaks of abaddon aka Apollo aka Appolyon, among many other names and titles
Father of Asclepius, who's symbol is medical symbol today from Pergamum(where stands seat was, Rev3) Mother was Coronus, who Apolos killed with an arrow of plague
Apollo is the constellation Orion. The swans are Cygnus. The python is Draco. These are stories of the movements of the stars in the northern sky and their associated constellations, just like the Odyssey, Hercules, Perseus and many other myths. SIBM

Denisovan were the Ice Giants. They used Swan as Symbol and invented music. Denisovans were 7ft tall Neanderthal with Elongated heads. These gods were a hybrid race of Denisovans. The hybrid race killed all the full blood Denisovans. Like Thor killed the ice Giants and the gods killed the Titans. A theory I have.
