apollo is kind of similar and different to this. he’s there at the concert halls, art galleries, lecture halls and archery ranges, sure. but I think he’d prefer the woods, where small children make bows out of twigs and broken string. I think he’d prefer a school art room, where teenagers laugh and make misshapen shapes out of clay, or accidentally mix a colour that perfectly matches the sky. I think he’d prefer to listen to the discordant notes that a student plays out, half bored, half inspired, while waiting for their teacher, than the repeated epics of old. I think he’d prefer to sit at a lunch table while the others gathered there argue over maths and literature (all opinions are semi-incorrect, but at least they’re new), than the bored ramblings of a teacher that probably should have retired a while ago. I think he’d prefer to sit in the sun than a dark and damp museum that mindlessly preserves the achievements of the past.
