= = = ﻿Apollo God Of Music, Healing, and Light! =

==Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto and the twin brother of Artemis. Apollo is usually depicted playing a lyre. His bird is a crow and his animal a dolphin. Apollo taught man about medicine. He usually did not interfere in human acts but he sent signs to Odysseus and his men during the Trojan war. Some of his nicknames are "Striker form afar" because of his skills with a bow. Zeus calls apollo "Beloved Pheobas". Apollo seemed to be very competitive with the other gods. Poseidon wanted to fight him and let him have the first punch because he was younger. He participated in a music contest with Pan and won because he is really good with a lyre. He got his lyre form Hermes as a compensation for cattle theft. Apollo is a very talented and well rounded God. By: Cooper H.==

**Who is Achillles?**
==Achilles is the best Greek warrior that was in the Trojan War. Achilles was the son of of Peleus the king of Phathia and Thetis an immortal sea nymph. After Achilles was born Thetis dipped Achilles in the River Styx to make him immortal. He went completely in the river except for his heel. The Greek army came to recruit Achilles for the war but Thetis thought her son would die so she disguised him as a girl. Odysseus saw right through the disguise so Achilles joined. Achilles fought hard for Agamemon but in the last year Agamemon took one Achilles slave girls. This made Achilles mad so he would not fight. The Greeks started losing and Achilles saw this. He sent out his best friend Patroclus into battle to frighten the Trojans. It worked, but then a brave Trojan named Hector came and killed Patroclus. Achilles became angry because of his friends death and sought revenge. He charged into battle and killed many Trojans including Hector. Then Paris the brother of Hector with the help of Apollo sent an arrow into Achilles heel which killed him. All the Greeks held a great funeral for their brave friend and didn't know if they could survive without him.==
