Apollo was known in the [[Pythagoras|Pythagorean]] tradition as the symbol of masculine beauty, the solar god who personifies the spiritual light of which the sun is the physical image. He represented the descent of heaven on earth. Apollo is considered by some to be the Solar Logos, the Mediator, [[Vishnu]], Mithras, Horus, the Universal Word. Apollo was lawgiver to the Greek city-states. As the god of divination and prophecy, he communicated to humanity by means of prophets and oracles as in the famed Oracle of [[Delphi]]. | Apollo was known in the [[Pythagoras|Pythagorean]] tradition as the symbol of masculine beauty, the solar god who personifies the spiritual light of which the sun is the physical image.
