Apollyon
Apollyon, also known as Apollon, is an important figure in Greek mythology. He is the son of Zeus and Leto, and is the twin brother of Artemis. Apollyon is primarily associated with music, prophecy, poetry, and archery. He is often depicted as a handsome and youthful god, with a lyre in hand. One of the most famous stories about Apollyon is his contest with the satyr Marsyas, in which he proved his superiority in music by defeating Marsyas in a musical contest and subsequently flaying him alive. Apollyon was also a central figure in the founding of the ancient oracle at Delphi. In Roman mythology, Apollyon is identified with the god Apollo.
In the Bible, the name “Apollyon” appears in the book of Revelation, where it is used as a name for the angel of the bottomless pit. It is associated with the king of the demonic locusts. The mention of Apollyon in the Bible is often interpreted as a symbol of destruction or a destroyer. This concept is distinct from the character of Apollo in Greek mythology.
