This captures their essence quite well imo!

Apollo | Concept

Hello! Been a bit. I’ve been busy with school and stuff, and I just now did a little concept thingy!

This is my Apollo concept! I actually have a lot of designs for Apollo. He is quite literally my favorite god. I love him. ❤️

I’ve been into EPIC and ToA and stuff. I wanted to make him more original or…something. I don’t know. This is what I was originally going to use for EPIC, but I don’t know. There’s two more that are really good! 😭 But I think I’ll use them for different things. I don’t know.

(“Hey Azz! Why isn’t it rendered/made how you usually do?” Well I’m tired. Leave me alone. — Nah, I just got lazy. It still looks good anyways! Yeah I fucked up coloring, but I also ✨don’t care✨. Toodles!)

Howdy!

Could I request something with Apollo, maybe about Reader having been missing and him searching for her or something like that? Feel free to take the idea in whatever direction you like!

YESSS

An Apollo request, you have no idea how happy it made me my dear anonymous. He's literally my favorite god.

(I wasn't sure like in what context you wanted it, so I made the time period as vague as possible. Feel free to interpret it in either modern days or ancient Greece)

His loved devotee went missing

Alright, it wasn't like he was panicking or anything, he was simply....concerned.

It's not like it was his fault though, you'd make quite the habit of praying to him and giving him offerings, or simply lighting up the candles of your altar for him, or who knows, think of him and make a sun drawing on a random paper. He'd gotten used to it, but it's not like he needed it...

But it's been four weeks, where the hell are you?! Everything, literally everything you used to do for him at least once a week, suddenly gone, all of the sudden, out of nowhere, you, stopped. Not a single prayer or candle

It was fine at first, nobody's perfect, you are a mortal after all, you may not have time that week or were too tired, he understood. He was a cool god, he wasn't going to smite you out of existence for such a simple thing

But then it was as if you didn't care at all about him, it was...odd. You weren't his favourite follower, he had many more, he didn't need your offerings, but he still appreciated them. He still felt happy to read the simple poem you tried to compose to him, he took his time to try to communicate with you by the flames of your candles, heck, he even made sure to try not to burn you by driving his charriot too close.

It just felt dull, he used to look forward to your prayers, maybe he had just gotten used to it but now without them it was weird, as if something was missing.

You

He missed you

He regretted every prayer he didn't show himself to you, every offering he simply collected and didn't actually taste and admire through as he should've. Every drawing or song you made about him, he wished now he'd kept them closer to his heart, because how he missed them. He was centuries old, he had some of the most brilliant and magnificent cults in his honor, he killed the mythic python and was praised for it, he was one of the gods with the most lovers, his own kids got to be gods or legends; and still, he missed you, his heart ached in loneliness of not having you, he wasn't even sure if he had one before! But the pain was real, and if he was a mortal..he would've cried

He knew he would've been SOBBING, begging the gods to bring you back to him, but he wasn't, because he WAS the god, yet he still missed you.

It took him a while, he had to swallow his pride and admit the truth: he needed to find you, but he didn't even know where to look. It was difficult to find your altar, he usually just sat and enjoyed your praises when you called for him, he never looked around to figure out where it was, he was doomed! But still, he had to try, his entire self was begging to hear you once more

Maybe another god took you? He knew how that usually went, and he didn't like it at all, it could mean you were dead! But it wasn't time to be pessimistic, because he did manage to remember something, a rosemary plant. Now it wasn't THAT much, but it was better than nothing, he knew that from your altar, if you looked outside you'd see a rosemary plant, he just needed to find it.

It wasn't easy, he always thought the human realm was pretty simple..oh boy, it took him an embarrassingly long amount of time to find it, but it looked exactly like what he remembered, or at least he thought it did. Was this why you stopped worshiping him? Because he was an asshole and didn't appreciate you enough when he had it? He'd understand if it was now, because even he was hating how much he took your appreciation for granted. But at least it was something, and the fates had a little bit of compassion with him, because it was the right plant.

☀️

You took a step back, absolutely surprised and scared at the same time, you were apparently schizophrenic now? How the hell did a random man appear in front of you, and why did he feel so...familiar? There was something about him, a certain warmth, you knew you'd felt it before, when you were sure your prayers were being heard and your offerings held by Apollo..it was the same feeling.

"where have you been?" He didn't show himself in all his glory to you, despite how much he wanted to, to be completely honest with you in every way of how he was and what he'd ever be, but he didn't want you to die from embracing his truly godly form either. It didn't matter what pathetic excuse you had for yourself, or if you actually had a valid reason, your words were cut before they could leave your mouth as he stepped forward all the way to you and held you in a tight hug. He didn't want to hear it right now, he didn't need to. "I've been looking for you.."

He just needed you two to simply, be, finally reunite. He missed you

Hi! I’m a baby hellenist and I was just wondering how I’d devote a pice of jewelry to a deity (A smiley face pin for Apollo) and then, maybe wear it as a devotional act?

Thanks for you time :D

Hi!

Gentle reminder to use Hellenic Polytheist and not Hellenist because modern Greek people use that to refer to their culture and identify each other.

You can devote a piece of jewelry to a deity in a few ways:

1) The simplest way is to just state it, either say it out loud or think it in your head:

for example you could say "I dedicate this piece of jewelry to Apollo and will wear it as a devotional act to him," or some kind of variation which makes it clear who that gift belongs to and who you are wearing it for. So long as it comes from your heart and you truly mean it, you'll be fine.

2) If you would like to make a ceremony for it you can but it is NOT required:

(I personally suffer from depression so I try to give advice that would cause the least amount of spoons in case the other person also has a condition that might limit them or if they don't have the means or time) but you're welcome to do something extra if you'd like, have the time, means or spoons.

There is no ceremony you have to follow, the ancient Greeks would give their gift to a priest to put in the temple along with an animal sacrifice (LINK) that would also double as a form of divination for the gifter because the priest would read the entrails of the animal (LINK), but the old religion died in it's original form with no surviving active temples, no priests who learned the old ways from previous priests and the religion has been revived with no more animal sacrifices which were a big part of the old religion and people now rely on bits and scraps of evidence pieced together by scholars and archeologists with big gaps missing, you are free to invent your own ceremony or look up "Greek reconstruction" tag to get ideas from others who may have made a format in case it helps, here is a site that's dedicated to bringing the ancient religion to the modern world: (LINK) and here is their guidance on gift giving: (LINK) but please keep on mind this site follows a lot of Orphism which was a mystery cult that was more popular in ancient Italy than in Greece because the city-states in Greece would follow rituals approved by the state via religious practices approved by the polis that were closely monitored by their city-state government.

3) My ceremony format in case you wish to follow it:

As mentioned earlier the follower would give the gift to the priest because it was rare for the follower to be allowed inside the temple so the priest would put it in for them, along with an animal sacrifice which would result in divination advice from the god to the gift giver.

So given this format you could go to your altar (if you keep one or whatever space is most sacred to you or one that's most energetically comfortable to you) then offer food maybe cooked meat or a piece of cake or some kind of bakery treat, offer the gift with a small prayer and then follow it with some form of divination (tarot perhaps or whatever you use that's most comfortable to you).

But again, it could be as simple as the first method I suggested at the beginning of the post because:

The gods will accept anything your heart wishes to give them because it's not about the value of the gift but the heartfelt dedication of the one giving the gift that matters.

May Apollo bless you with the light to guide you on your journey to honoring the gods and celebrate your future fortunes!

🎶Apollo the god of many things ☀️

Apollo became recognized as the god of the Sun, music and arts, medicine and prophecy. The lyre, the laurel wreath and the bow and arrow were his symbols. He became god of the Sun taking the place of the sun god Helios, he is the son of Zeus and Leto and the twin brother of Artemis.

He is part of the bastards of Olympus, along with his twin sister Artemis.

Apollo is a Greco-Roman god who is associated with several areas, such as:Music, Arts, Medicine, Prophecy, Light, Truth, Youth, Target shooting, Plague.

He is one of the many Greek gods known for having homosexual affairs, in my version he is pansexual

🙏I hope you enjoy the art, please share 🙏

WIP (Apollo 3)

I haven’t finished yet, but here’s the start. I did this months ago but never got around to doing it- 💀

I may change some colors as I work on this, like the skin tone. He’s just fabulous the way he is. Like fabulous, not fabulous. You know?
