Apollo

well thought out text

This book gives an in depth history of the Greek God Apollo with chapters mainly focusing on his different aspects, such as: 'Apollo in Homer', 'Apollo the Musician', 'Oracular Apollo', 'Apollo God of Healing', and 'Apollo the young and the city'. There are 2 further chapters which are entitled 'Origins' and 'Apollo's Flourishing Aftermath'.The book was well researched and clearly written. It's also part of a series called 'Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World' published by Routledge and I'm looking forward to checking out other books in the series.However, the only things I found lacking in the book where information about festivals celebrating Apollo and how he was worshiped by the Greeks. But then again, I'm Pagan and especially interested in practical information about ancient worship.This book was well worth purchasing and I'm sure I'll keep coming back to it for information.

A complete study of Apollo including his cults ect.

Specialised material.

The media could not be loaded.  Gostoso de se ler.

I purchased this book alongside the Artemis one and I have to say I like the latter much better. This book is just a long block of information and, while it us fascinating, the delivery is really heavy. Better text formatting could have majorly improved the reading experience. Overall a great read, however, as it touches upon all the different facets of Apollo and his cult.
