The complete story of Apollo, the Greek god of light, prophecy and plague: his birth on Delos, the serpent at Delphi, and the arrows that ended Troy.
He was born on a floating island his mother had to beg for, and four days later he killed the oldest creature in Greece.
He gave a princess the gift of prophecy and then cursed her with it. He cut his own son out of a funeral pyre, and lost him to a thunderbolt.
The Greeks built Apollo out of a contradiction on purpose: the hand that lifts the plague is the hand that sends it.
