Myth Appearances

A myth that Apollo appears in is the Python myth. In this myth Hera sends a huge monstrous python to persecute Leto, Apollo's mother, an act of jealousy. Only being 4 days old, though he was already a very strong boy, Apollo slays the python with his silver bow and golden arrows. With this victory the Pythian Games were created in honor of his accomplishment. The games were held every four years in Apollo's honor. =)
