- 1. From Roman mythology, he is the son of Jupiter and Latona (The Greeks called her Leto), and the sun god. His twin sister is Diana (The Greeks called her Artemis).

His oracle was at Delphi. The dolphin and crow were sacred to him, and the laurel was his tree. Also called Phoebus Apollo by the Romans. Some sources call Helios the sun god, not Apollo. Quadriga is the four horse chariot of the Sun god Apollo, who drove it across the sky each day.// From Greek mythology, he is the son of Zeus and Leto (The Romans called her Latona), and the sun god.
