I might just incur His wrath for this one...

A little while ago, someone posted to an email list I'm on asking if he's the only one who sees Apollo as the god of rock and roll, with the lyre as a precursor to the guitar.

I responded saying that I hadn't thought about it before but I could definitely see that, and not only that, but I can definitely picture Him rocking out on a guitar....

...and then came the mental image of Marsyas challenging Apollo to a Guitar Hero showdown.

So if anyone finds me shot dead with an arrow in the street this afternoon, this is why.

my very first encounters with apollon were of a bright, youthful, laughing, beautiful god.
i think he could easily be a guitar hero, but has an infinite and often-overlooked capacity for humor.

Eh, well I'll be joining you. I've come to the conclusion the only way to human-logic explain the gods' myths is that they all practice polyamoury.

And I haven't been smited yet!

That's a great mental image:) I think Apollo has a sense of humour though, so I don't think you should worry. ^^

But what song would they challenge each other to?

I think that's hilarious . . . .thank you for a good laugh!
