22、Among the crowd of Olympian gods the most famous one was Apollo. He was the son of Zeus and Letto. According to Greek mythology, Letto was driven by Hera, Zeus' wife, from land to land and at last Poseidon took pity on her and brought the island of Delos out of water for her to live on. There she gave birth to the twins, Apollo and Artemis.

Wearing a purple robe, Apollo 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 of gold and ivory（象牙）, and brought light, life and love m the great world below. 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 bring about all feelings, which are expressed in his noble songs. With his gold musical instrument and the sweet accents of his godlike voice he led the choir of the muses（音樂女神們） at Olympus. The pleasant music was so exciting that stones marched into their places of their own will in musical time when he helped Poseidon build up the walls of Troy（特洛伊城）. On one occasion, invited to a contest by the human musician Marsyas, he won and then flayed（剝……的皮） him to death for his pride. On another occasion, he lost at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge, King Midas, into those of an ass（驢子）.

A beautiful girl, by the name of Clytle, was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk she knelt on the ground, her hands outstretched towards the sun god, and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue sky.
