Jacob Israel has been finding a lot of Poseidon references lately. Now a lot of Apollo has started coming up everywhere.
"Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius. Apollo delivered people from epidemics, yet he is also a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague with his arrows." Source
"Apollo was the god of divine distance—the god who made mortals aware of their own guilt and purified them of it, who presided over religious law and the constitutions of cities" Source
"From the 5th century BCE, Apollo, originally a deity of radiant purity, was more and more interpreted as a sun god." Source
Apollo's lover was mortal Coronis, whom he killed for being unfaithful. He cut his unborn son Asclepius out of her dead body, which would grow up to learn hidden knowledge from a serpent, allowing him to create new medicines including reviving the dead with Medusa's blood. Source1Source2
