What is the story of Apollo's servitude?

Asclepios becomes so good at healing he even surpasses his father in the department, and as such, gets cocky. Some random mortal (not important who) brings a dead guy to Asclepios and Asclepios brings him back to life. Asclepios continues to do so; bringing people back to life left and right: depriving Hades of his one purpose. This in turn upsets Hades, so much so, that Zeus ends up killing Asclepios. This in turn enrages Apollo (for obvious reasons, Zeus just murdered his son) and so Apollo kills the Cyclopes. This pisses off Zeus even more and he banishes Apollo, and then makes him a servant to work for a shepard. Apollo then finds Admetus: a boy shepard, and they fall in love. Admetus then tells Apollo: I want this woman's hand in marriage, but her father says she is only to marry a man who can kill/yoke a boar and a lion. Apollo helps him (important to note that Apollo doesnt care Admetus wants another) and allows him the strength to do these things. Admetus then marries the woman. Apollo's servitude then ends, and he wants to thank him somehow: he does so by going to the fates, he gets them drunk and then convinces them to bless Admetus, they then do this: they tell Admetus; "If you can get someone to say they will die for you, you will become young again." So Admetus thinks this is easy and goes to his parents who say "no gtfo of here." He asks all over including to strangers they all say "no." Death finally catches up with Admetus and his wife agrees to it (without his consent) and she dies and he is devastated. She is then in the underworld (as the dead reside down there) With Apollo's blessing heracles (Hercules) comes down to the underworld and literally wrestles with death off of Admetus' wife (Ascletus) and wins, he then brings her back to Admetus.

What is Book 14 of The Illiad about?

Before getting into this, one thing that is important to note: -Gods that sided with Torjans: >Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite -Gods who sided with Greeks: >Hera, Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, Hephaistos -Zeus however is different: >Being the strongest of the Gods he vows to remain neutral but it is said he favored the Trojans -The story is as follows After he's done helping the injured healer Machaon, Nestor steps out of the tent to see how the battle's going. He doesn't like what he sees: the Achaians are getting their butts whipped. Nestor is debating whether he should go join the battle himself, or whether he should go report to Agamemnon. He decides on the latter course of action. He finds Agamemnon sitting with Diomedes and Odysseus away from the fighting. All three are injured. Nestor tells Agamemnon the bad news. Agamemnon thinks they're beat. He suggests they should just start moving the ships down into the water. Odysseus says, "No way. As soon as the men see that we're starting to sail off, they won't keep fighting. There will be total disorder and the Trojans will kill us all." Agamemnon says, "Fine. So what do you other brainiacs think we should do?" Eventually, Diomedes speaks up. He says that the three of them should go back to the battle. Even if they don't join in the fighting, they can still shout out encouragement to the men. Everyone thinks this is a good idea, so they head out. On their way, they encounter the god Poseidon, in disguise. He tells Agamemnon that the gods aren't entirely against them - the day will come when the Trojans will turn tail and run. Then Poseidon races off with a shout as loud as nine or ten thousand men, instilling great courage in the hearts of the Achaians. Up on Mount Olympos, Hera sees what Poseidon is doing and is overjoyed. All the same, she is afraid of what might happen if Zeus catches wind of it. She decides to distract him—with the power of a woman's touch. First she dolls herself up all nicely, then she calls Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to put on some finishing touches. Specifically, she wants to borrow loveliness and desirability. (You can think of this as asking to borrow Aphrodite's prized bottle of Chanel Number 5.) The would-be cover girl's cover story is as follows: she wants to go start some chemistry between Okeanos, god of the ocean, and the sea-goddess Tethys, whose relationship is on the rocks. Aphrodite is thrilled with this idea, and forks over the goods. Now Hera heads off to find Zeus. On the way, however, she pays a visit to Sleep, the brother of Death. Hera asks him to knock Zeus out as soon as she's had a chance to use her wiles on him. Sleep hesitates, recalling a previous occasion when he helped Hera put Zeus under—only to have Zeus give him a royal thumping when he woke up. Hera says, "Don't worry about it. And anyhow, if you help me, I'll let you have one of the younger Graces as your wife—Pasithea, the one you've had a crush on for so long." (The Graces were goddesses of, well, gracefulness, beauty, etc.) Sleep says, "Oooh, yes." And off they go. When they reach Mount Ida, where Zeus is, Sleep takes the form of a bird, and Hera heads up to find the god. As soon as Zeus sees her, he is instantly overpowered with lust. He asks her where she's going. Hera tells him the same story she told Aphrodite. Zeus says, "That can wait. Right now: you, me, right here." Hera says, "Right here? Won't somebody see us?" Zeus says, "Not to worry. I'll wrap the mountain in a cloud of mist." Which he does. Once they're done, Sleep knocks Zeus unconscious. Then he speeds down to find Poseidon on the beach of Troy. Sleep tells Poseidon to hurry up and kick some Trojan butt while Zeus is still asleep. Now Poseidon leads the Achaians on the attack. Hektor throws a spear at Aias, but it is deflected where his shield- and sword-straps overlap. In response, Aias throws a huge rock at Hektor, hitting him in the chest. Some guys grab Hektor and pull him out of harm's way. They put him on a chariot and take him back towards Troy, stopping by the River Xanthos. There they splash some water on him. He throws up and blacks out. Poseidon, with Hera's help turns the tides for the Greeks against the Trojans

Describe the story of Apollo and Daphne

Daphne is Apollos first love, Apollo mocks Cupid/Erotes, and as a result, Cupid hits him witrh an arrow (Gold tipped) and makes him fall desperately in love with Daphne, but at the same time Cupid strikes Daphne with an arrow that makes Daphne hate Apollo (led tipped). Long story short: he chases her around and after a while he is finally about to catch her when she begs her father, Peneus, to morph her into something Apollo cant sex with- she turns into a laurel tree (Daphne literally means Laurel tree in Greek). Apollo says "Although you cant be my bride, you will assuredley be my tree". The laurel becomes sacred to Apollo, and is seen as prestigous in Roman and Greek culture, often the laurel is given out to victors of the Pythians/Olympic games and the best Roman Generals. this myth is often depicted with Daphne turning into the tree as branches sprout from her. and was drawn by many famous artists

He is also known as "Lame-foot": crippled one, this is because (one story) when he was born he was very ugly which dissapointed Hera, Hera then throws him out of Olympos. (other story): Hephaistos is mad that Zeus is mistreating Hera so he confronts him and Zeus throws him to Earth, in both cases he is injured. Is often depicted with a backwards foot and devine chariot (wheelchair?) associated with arsenic bronze for that caused ancient ailments.

Describe the rape of Persephone

Demeter is the Goddess of fertility and Agriculture, she has a daughter: Persephone. One day persephone is hanging out in meadow, Hades goes to Zeus and asks him for a wife-Persephone- Zeus give consent. Hades comes out of the underworld and grabs Persephone from the meadow and pulls her down into the underworld. Demeter finds out and is devastated/very upset, and asks everey god what happened, no one is willing to tell her because it would in a way be opposing Zeus. She becomes more mad so she brings a cold air upon the earth and as such, nothing grows (no plants or food), humans as a result become famished and starving and thus cant sacrifice to the Gods. This upsets the Gods and they ask Demeter to calm down and restore the land to fertile. she ignores them and just wants her daughter. Someone eventually tells Demeter where her daughter is. Two stroies that differentiate: 1st: Zeus cracks and relents; giving Persephone back. 2nd:Demeter goes and gets her daughter. Either way when Persephone is about to leave, Hades has her eat the pomegranite seeds (food of the underworld), Hades fully knowing what hes doing. Her eating this essentially puts her in Hades debt: She must then stay in the underworld with Hades for 1/3 the year(Winter), and is allowed on Olympos 2/3 the year.

Describe the Succession at at Delphi

First Gaia has a temple/oracle here Then Themis takes it over and has her own Oracle and resides here with her Python-protector Then, and finally, Apollo comes and kills the python and makes it his own temple/oracle Important because it reinforces the thought that as time goes on the Gods become more similar to man: we get away and kill off the Primal Gods and get to the Olympians and man

Leto

In Greek mythology, Leto (/ˈliːtoʊ/; Greek: Λητώ Lētṓ; Λατώ, Lātṓ in Doric Greek) is a daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe, the sister of Asteria.[1] Zeus is the father of her twins,[3] Apollo and Artemis, which Leto conceived after her hidden beauty accidentally caught the eyes of Zeus. Classical Greek myths record little about Leto other than her pregnancy and her search for a place where she could give birth to Apollo and Artemis, since Hera in her jealousy caused all lands to shun her. Finally, she found an island that was not attached to the ocean floor so it was not considered land and she could give birth.[4] This is her only active mythic role: once Apollo and Artemis are grown, Leto withdraws, to remain a dim[5] and benevolent matronly figure upon Olympus, her part already played. In Roman mythology, Leto's Roman equivalent is Latona, a Latinization of her name, influenced by Etruscan Letun.[6]

Aprhodite punishes her: puts a fire inside of Myrrha that makes her only crave one thing:sex with her father. There are different accounts on how exactly this takes place, but in any sense she (most likely disguised as a nurse) has sex with her father for 9 nine nights with the lights off, until the tenth night when he finds out he chases her with an ax ready to kill her, she gets away-she then pleads/confesses to the gods-wishes to be neither dead nor alive so they turn her into a tree she is pregnant and gives birth to a very beautiful child who "resembles one of the naked cherubs often depicted by artists" Incest is a horrible deed to the Greeks and as such was a fitting punishment to Myrrha for not worshiping Aphrodite

Admetus then tells Apollo: I want this woman's hand in marriage, but her father says she is only to marry a man who can kill/yoke a boar and a lion. Apollo helps him (important to note that Apollo doesnt care Admetus wants another) and allows him the strength to do these things. Admetus then marries the woman. Apollo's servitude then ends, and he wants to thank him somehow: he does so by going to the fates, he gets them drunk and then convinces them to bless Admetus, they then do this: they tell Admetus; "If you can get someone to say they will die for you, you will become young again." So Admetus thinks this is easy and goes to his parents who say "no gtfo of here." He asks all over including to strangers they all say "no." Death finally catches up with Admetus and his wife agrees to it (without his consent) and she dies and he is devastated. She is then in the underworld (as the dead reside down there) With Apollo's blessing heracles (Hercules) comes down to the underworld and literally wrestles with death off of Admetus' wife (Ascletus) and wins, he then brings her back to Admetus.

This story opens with Hermes and Apollo talking after the incident. Hermes notices Apollo is visibly upset and asks him what is wrong. The story unfolds: Hyacinthas is Apollo's newest male lover, and one day they are playing discus when the wind (God?) Zephyros is watching at a distance very jealously. For Zephyros has always loved Hyacinthas but the boy paid him no mind and ignored him. So, with Zephyros power of the wind, he makes the (just thrown by Apollo) airborne discuss descend rapidly upon Hyacinthas, and the discus strikes him in the head thus killing him. Apollo then chases Zephyros back up his Mtn. but thats not really important. Apollo laments the boy and from his grave sprouts a flower (the brightest of all) that apparently in Greek spells out "lament for the dead." The story ends. We zoom back out to Hermes and Apollo, and Apollo asks Hermes if his grief is unreasonable. Hermes says yes I do..."You knew that you'd chosen a boyfriend who was mortal. So dont be upset because he died."
