The arrow has just left Apollo's bow and the effort impressed on his musculature still lingers. His hair, lightly curled, flows in ringlets down his neck and rises gracefully to the summit of his head, which is encircled with the strophium, a band symbolic of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended across his left shoulder. He is entirely nude except for his sandals and a robe (chlamys) clasped at his right shoulder, turned up on his left arm, and thrown back.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.

HMS Apollo (F70) was a Batch 3B Broadbeam Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). She was, like the rest of the class, named after a figure of mythology. Apollo was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders of Scotstoun. She was launched on the 15th October 1970 and commissioned on the 28th May 1972 (the penultimate Leander).
Propulsion: 2 x steam turbines developing 30,000 HP providing a top speed of 28 Knots and a range of 4,000 miles at 15 Knots.
Dimensions: 2,500 tonnes (standard load)/2962 tonnes (full load) displacement; 372 ft length; 43 ft beam and 18 ft draught.
Both the Apollo and the Ariadne are easily distinguished from the other Leanders' by their 'witches hat' - fitted to the top of the foremast as a part of the electronic warfare array.
Apollo was intended to be modernised, which would have included the removal of her one 4.5-in twin gun, which would have been replaced by the Exocet anti-ship missile, but the modernisation was cancelled due to the 1981 Defence Review by the minister John Nott. In July 1982, Apollo was sent to patrol the South Atlantic in the aftermath of the Falklands War and returned home in September. In late 1983, Apollo once again returned to the South Atlantic. On this occasion Apollo encountered heavy seas in the South Atlantic that damaged her hull.
In 1988, Apollo's Royal Navy career came to an end when she was decommissioned and subsequently sold to Pakistan, being renamed PNS Zulfiqar.
The Apollo fountain depicts Apollo conqueror on his chariot pulled by four horses representing force and ardour, getting out of the water among sea monsters to enlighten the Earth as he represents the rising Sun. In Versailles all the statues of Apollo, the Sun god, represent Louis XIV, the Sun king.
Apollo Bridge (Slovak: Most Apollo, provisionally known as Most Košická during construction, after the street leading to it) in Bratislava is a road bridge over the Danube in the capital of Slovakia. It is located between the Starý Most and Prístavný Most Bridges, a site which allowed almost perpendicular bridging, resulting in the shortest possible span.
Construction of the bridge began in 2003 and it was opened to the public on September 5, 2005. It is named for the "Apollo" oil refinery which was situated on the left river bank in this area before World War II. Its curved lines, inclined arches and virtual absence of right angles make the geometric shape of the bridge very sophisticated. In an unprecedented manoeuvre, the 5,240-ton steel structure, spanning 231 metres, was rotated across the river from its construction site on the left bank into its final position on a pillar 40 metres from the right bank. The Apollo Bridge was the only European project named one of five finalists for the 2006 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award (OPAL Award) by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The legend of Daphne & Apollo, in a sculpture at Doddington Hall, Lincolnshire. As Apollo's hand grasps the fleeing Daphne, she appeals to her father, Ladon, a River God, for help. He turns her into a Laurel bush, so she evades Apollo's unwanted attentions.

My take on set 10029 the Apollo Lunar lander. I used what parts I could find (and afford) on Bricklink and tried to make use of alternate pieces for what I could not.

Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith. Opened as the Gaumont Palace in March 1932, having been long planned (from 1925) with initially the Davis family as promoters, but latterly Gaumont British. It was designed by Robert Cromie, and had 3,487 seats in stalls and balcony levels, plus standing room for a further 225. It is art deco in style, with panels by Newbury A. Trent. The Gaumont was equipped with a 35ft deep stage, full fly tower with 28 double purchase counterweight lines, a 64ft wide proscenium arch, and 20 dressing rooms. There is an 4 rank / 15 rank Compton organ, reinstated in 2005 after many years in storage. The Gaumont was renamed Odeon in 1962, regular films ceased in 1984, but sometimes occasionally play dates. It became the Apollo in 1992, and has been taken over by various companies over the years (Clear Channel; MAMA; HMV; Stage C) but is currently owned by CTS Eventim. As the finest surviving work by Robert Cromie, and (together with the Plaza Stockport), one of the greatest, and least altered 1930s super cinemas, the Apollo is grade 2* listed, and had a major refurbishment (Foster Wilson Architects) in the summer of 2013, uncovering and restoring many decorative features of the building. The Apollo is regularly featured on film and television, from "The Smallest Show on Earth" (1956 feature film) to "Live From The Apollo" regular TV Stand-up recording (18, and counting, series beginning 2004). Taken on a visit arranged by the Cinema Theatre Association.

The flight mode, lunar orbit rendezvous, was selected in 1962. The boosters for the program were the Saturn IB for Earth orbit flights and the Saturn V for lunar flights.
Apollo was a three-part spacecraft: the command module (CM), the crew's quarters and flight control section; the service module (SM) for the propulsion and spacecraft support systems (when together, the two modules are called CSM); and the lunar module (LM), to take two of the crew to the lunar surface, support them on the Moon, and return them to the CSM in lunar orbit.
The god is standing near a pillar; with a clear sensuality, his attitude, reminiscent of the Apollo "Lycian", points out the suppleness of a juvenile body. The god’s lyre is leant on the top of a pillar; Apollo, bending the head toward his right shoulder, is turning slightly toward the instrument; the left hand is placed behind the instrument, and his fingers are already affecting the strings; his forearm is raised on the head, and his right hand holds the plectrum.
Apollo’s bust is bare; the cloak, slid on the left arm, goes on back and returns to the right thigh to cover his legs.

The Clouded Apollo is a butterfly species of the family of Swallowtail butterflies found in the Palearctic ecozone.
Clouded Apollos inhabit meadows and woodland clearings with plenty of flowering plants, both in the lowlands and in the mountains. It is not usually found at altitudes above 1500m except in the Central Asian mountains where it is known also from higher altitudes.
It inhabits all European countries.
To prevent the continuing disappearance of this butterfly from many places in central Europe, it is now protected in some regions.

Apollo is a whirligig in the amusement park Slagharen, built by Schwarzkopf. In the beginning there were two Apollo's: Zweefapollo and Apollo 14. The current Apollo is the Zweefapollo of that time. The disappeared Apollo 14 was another attraction: it was a revolving sphere, like the Zweefapollo, but there were no chairs attached to it, but a few arms with revolving capsules that went up and down in which two people could take place. This attraction used to be on the spot where Sky Tower now stands. Today it is in Loudoun Castle, England and has also been converted into a whirligig.
The two Apollo's that have been together in Slagharen are also the only two that have ever been made.
For the 2015 season, Apollo was disassembled for a large-scale renovation. The attraction is already quite old. After this, the attraction could open again for visitors.
The occupants float in seats around the moon. There can be up to 30 people in the attraction and a ride takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The whirligig has a total theoretical capacity of 1104 persons per hour.
