'''Apollo''' was one of the most important of the [[pagan]] Greek gods, being responsible for many things, including healing and plague, archery, the arts (particularly music), and most especially prophecy. Later on he would also become the sun god. It should be noted that, with the exception of prophecy, all of Apollo's areas of responsibility also sometimes belong to other pagan mythological figures: healing to [[Asclepius]], the arts to the [[Muse|Muses]], the sun to [[Helios]], and archery to Apollo's sister goddess [[Artemis]]. Even with respect to Apollo's role as the god of prophecy, it is sometimes suggested that Apollo derives his knowledge of the future from [[Zeus]], and then acts as a go between to humans.
