Apollo

The upcoming historical figure isn’t a tangible individual, but rather a deity from Greek and Roman mythology. Apollo, revered as the god overseeing archery, music, dance, truth, prophecy, healing, diseases, the sun, poetry, and numerous other domains, holds a pivotal role. He emerges as the offspring of Zeus and the twin brother of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. In the narratives surrounding Apollo, his guardianship extended to shielding humanity from malevolence and pandemics—a role particularly resonant in today’s pandemic-stricken world.

A plethora of Apollo busts exists, sharing similarities in features yet exhibiting subtle distinctions. While these representations manifest visual commonalities, each remains unique. It’s worth noting that these busts portray the likeness of the model rather than the deity himself.
