Apollo
The most radiant of gods brings light, prophecy, and a cruelty that shadows his every gift.
Apollo slays the serpent Python to claim the oracle at Delphi, becoming the voice of fate, the lord of music, and the bringer of both healing and plague. But his perfection carries an edge of cruelty: in love he is spurned by Daphne and curses Cassandra, and in pride he flays Marsyas and lets Hyacinthus die. His radiance and his ruin are inseparable.
