Earth statue of Apollo

Apollo is one of the Lords of Kobol worshipped by modern-day Colonials.

Apollo is the son of Zeus, Lord of Kobol, and regarded in Colonial religion as the god of the hunt and the god of healing. In this, his role somewhat mirrors that of Apollo of the Olympian pantheon of ancient Greece, though in Greek mythology Apollo's twin sister Artemis is the god the the hunt.

Within Colonial religion, an artifact known as the Arrow of Apollo appears named for this diety.

-In Greek mythology, Apollo (Greek: Apollon) is the son of [[Zeus]] and [[Leto]] and the twin to [[Artemis]], with whom he shares lordship over the hunt. In his role as the god of healing, he also fulfilled the contradictory role of the bringer of plagues such as rabies and leprosy.

-From the perspective of Battlestar Galactica, Apollo in Greek mythology, Apollo was said to have dominion colonists, and the parton saints of flocks and herds. As the god of healing, he also purified those guilty of murder.
-These points all map onto the character of [[Adama, Lee|Lee Adama]]:
-* As CAG, he is responsible for operating the [[Combat Air Patrol|Combat Air Patrols]] that protect the Colonists within the fleet (which could be regarded as a flock or herd)
-* Within [[Bastille Day]], he provided a means by which [[Zarek, Tom|Tom Zarek's]] past acts (including blowing up a government building and killing people ([[Bastille Day]]) could be "purified" through hard labour in support of the fleet, thus bringing about Zarek's apparent reformation and return to society ([[Colonial Day]]).
-Apollo is also linked to two further symbols of Greek mythology used within the Battlestar Galactica universe: the [[Pythia]], who were regarded as the mouth of Apoll, who occupied the temple at [[Delphi]].
