I see so many seeing Him as only being associated with music and harmony and peace and light

But He is truly much more

Apollo is the light that drives out the darkness

His arrows are sharp and fierce, piercing the hearts of the wicked

He is the brilliant flame that burns evil down to ash

He is more than just gentle light and music and art

He is Alexikakos, the destroyer of evil

He is the Slayer of Python

T- Ah. What are you doing in the palace? To bring new injustice and erase the honours of the underworld?

A- Came here fair and just.

T- Just? What do you hold the bow then?

A- Out of habit.

T- Your laws are for the rich Phoibos.

A- Bah? You are wise and i didn't know it?
