2nd century AD Roman statue of Apollo depicting the god's attributes—the lyre and the snake Python

In

Greek

and

Roman mythology

, Apollo
, 

is one of the most important and diverse of the

Olympian deities

. The ideal of the

kouros
 (a 

beardless youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the 

sun; truth and prophecy;

archery
; 

medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts; and more. Apollo is the son 

of Zeus
and

Leto, and has a

twin

sister, the chaste huntress

Artemis
. 

Apollo is known in Greek-influenced

Etruscan mythology

as Apulu. Apollo was worshiped in both

ancient Greek

and

Roman religion

, as well as in the modern

Greco

–Roman

Neopaganism

.

As the patron of Delphi

(Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an

oracular

god — the prophetic deity of the

Delphic Oracle
. 

Medicine and healing were associated with Apollo, whether through the god 

himself or mediated through his son

Asclepius
, 

yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly

plague

as well as one who had the ability to cure. Amongst the god’s 

custodial charges, Apollo became associated with dominion over

colonists

, and as the patron defender of herds and flocks. As the leader of 

the Muses
(Apollon 

Musagetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functioned as the patron god 

of music and poetry
.

Hermes
created 

the lyre
for him, 

and the instrument became a common

attribute

of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called

paeans
.

In Hellenistic times, especially during the third century BCE, as Apollo 

Helios he became identified among Greeks with

Helios
,

god of 

the sun
, and his sister Artemis similarly equated with

Selene
,

goddess 

of the moon
. 

In Latin texts, on the other hand, Joseph Fontenrose declared himself unable to 

find any conflation of Apollo with

Sol

among the

Augustan poets

of the first century, not even in the conjurations of

Aeneas
and

Latinus
in

Aeneid
 XII 

(161–215). 

Apollo and Helios/Sol remained separate beings in literary and mythological 

texts until the third century CE.

Gambrion is an ancient city near
Kınık
and
Bergama
in
İzmir
province of
Turkey
in western
Anatolia
.

It is on a hill named
Hisarlık
in
Bakırçay
(ancient
Kaikos
) valley and very close to modern town of
Poyracık
.

The name of Gambrion is seen first in the book of
Anabasis
of
Xenofon
which gives knowledge about the region 
in 399 BC. At that time the ruler of the city was
Gorgion
.

There was a star with twelve rays on the electron money of 
Gambrion.
