Greek/Roman Deities: Apollo

Very soon on The Bardess’ Library #4!

Apollo has been stated as CG in older editions, but for the Greek and the Athenians in particular, he was the symbol and embodiment of order and good governance, as “master of the skies” and “bringer of light”, keeper of truth and clear vision. He was also one of the patron deities of theater.
