Even though Greek Gods are depicted as perfect beings, what are Apollo's Flaws?

Apollo the god of diverse powers does his flaws even though he is overwhelmingly handsome and talented. Like most divine figures, his rage takes a hold of his actions. An event that took place during his rage was when Niobe boasted to him mother. Not only did it anger him, but as well as his sister. It resulted in the murder of all of Niobe's sons and daughters.

He also was challenged by a satyr named Marsyas. Marsyas challenged him to a music contest, this somehow had provoked him. He was offended because the satyr was being presumptuous to even challenge a God like him.

Are Apollo and Helios the same god? If not, explain why they are not and how are they alike?

Helios and Apollo are in fact, not the same god. This is proven by Homer's point of view.Contrary to belief, Apollo was derived from Egypt, he was connected spiritually with nature itself, unlike Helios. To add on, Apollo is called, "averter of evil" coming from the Doric race. Futhermore, his surname, Phoibus is stressed throughout the Homeric Poems to emphasize stronger remarks.

Even though they differ in some ways, they are also alike, hence the confusing the two. They both identify with the sun. They also ride a chariot across the sky, causing lots of confusion for centuries. They bother appear in Greek mythology so it is easy to mistaken them for one another. Helios is said to be the sun god, Apollo is just associated with the sun only.

What significance has Apollo contributed to the Greek Society? How?

What Apollo had contributed to the Greek society is quite a lot due to his many titles. Out of the various titles he has, the most well-known title is the God of Prophecy. His powers were given by Zeus himself, the power later on became exercised in numerous of oracles. The oracles he was involved with embraces the action of defeating monsters. He overcame the powerful delphi with the gift of prophecy he inherited. One story was told how he slain a dragon that was guarding the oracle from those who desired it. Other stories vary as Python, the dragon, owned the oracle so Apollo had stolen it from Phython.

Furthermore, he is also known as the god who, "punishes and destroys". After all, he was to be described as a skillful archer so this title makes sense. To add on, his archer skills even assisted Zeus in a contest.Not only did he help Zeus, Apollo also is known to always hit his target with his bow. Thus, sudden deaths of men were to be evident because of the arrow's effect. Apollo also puts his skill to the test when he went to save his mother from the dragon, Phythos.
