Apollo: The Unluckiest God in Love


Listen Later

Step into the divine drama of Apollo's love life, where the god of the sun and arts proves himself to be the unluckiest god in love. From the elusive Daphne, who is transformed into the laurel tree just to escape his amorous pursuits, to Cassandra, the princess of Troy who rejects his advances. Then there's the bromance gone awry with Cyparissus, turned into the cypress tree. Hyacinthus, Apollo's main man crush, met a tragic end during a game of discus, leaving a flower in his memory. And who could forget Coronis, the princess from Thessaly, who betrayed Apollo with a mortal man, sparking a divine revenge plot. Yet, from these tales of heartache, he significantly contributed to Gaia's plan for plant life, leaving a lasting imprint on the natural world... including making the white crow or raven black!
