 * As a child, Hermes was a mischievous child. He stole fifty of my fine cows and hid them in the mountains. Outraged, I presented him before Zeus so he could get a proper punishment. But as I looked at him, he was carrying a beautiful instrument made out of tortoise shell. I was so intrigued by this that I offered a trade: the fifty cattle for this amazing instrument. Soon, I discovered he had created a new instrument with powerful herding abilities. I then traded him my beloved Caduceus for his instrument. Soon after practicing with a passion, I mastered the new instrument, called the Lyre, and played it for all to hear.
 * After having an affair with my mother, Leto, Zeus had impregnated her. This made my evil half mother Hera furious and she ordered the serpent Python of Delphi to follow her around. My poor mother wasn't allowed in any cities due to the widespread fear of Python. Finally, my mother discovered Delphi, where she was free to give birth to my sister, Artemis, and I. Enraged after hearing of the torture Python put my mother through, I set out to slay the beast. After arriving at Mount Parnassus, Python was furious at me. I quickly sidestepped his sharp teeth and fought death for as long as I could. By skill, I was able to land an arrow in the serpent's head. There was a terrible cry and then the beast fell with a thud. Happy with my success, I played a song on my Lyre that was so joyful and peaceful that all people regarded me afterwards as the God of music.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Where I Live-= ===I currently reside in Kingston, Jamaica (18°00'N, 76°50'W). This is due to the continuously warm climate and the vast sunlight all over town. Also, there is a lively music scene here with all sorts of instruments being used. I love playing to the slow beats of reggae on my Lyre. Lastly, Jamaica provides fertile soil for crops and cattle. I am a respected shepherd in the area and the people enjoy having me around.===

=My Rep-= ===The name Apollo is still seen all over this new and modern society. For instance, my name was that of several space missions, with the most famous one being Apollo 13. Also, a harlem theater that inspired the people of the 1930s and even people today was known as the Apollo Theater. I am honored to be representing such a musical masterpiece in this simple mortal world. Even the olympiads today model my love for Daphne by wearing the crowns of laurel leaves. It always brings a tear to my eye when I see those crowns and realize she is never coming back.===
