| Aren’t there some striking parallels between the Jesus and Apollo stories? |
| Like what? Apollo (aka Phoebus) was a Greek god who was the son
of Zeus and Lito and the twin brother of
Artemis. He was the god of music and
an archer. He was associated with the swan, wolf, and dolphin. He
had many romantic relationships with goddesses as well as mortal women (and
even a prince named Hyacinthus!). There
was no virgin birth or resurrection, or anything which strongly parallels
to Jesus.
