Greek mythology is made from myths, legends, gods and heroes that the ancient Greeks centered their

lives around. There are twelve gods, known as the Olympians, who were present in all spheres of life. They provide explanations for the unexplainable events such as why things are the way they are and how they came to be. The gods influence the lives of mortals. They might help them when they are in trouble and offer them guidance about the future but they also determine the mental will of mortals: who will live and who will die. The intervention of the gods in human life is also present in Homers epic the Iliad, where the gods play a significant role in the lives of the character and the events of the Greek-Trojan War. The gods were divided into two camps and each picked who they were going to favour for different reasons. Apollo who plays an influential role in the Greek-Trojan war is a constant supporter of the Trojans. He intervenes or doesnt intervene on the bases of their own self serving motives. Apollo is very complex deity. As a god of shepherds he was associated with music and was a protector of the flocks, he was also god of medicine and replaced Helios and Imperion as the god of the son he is also called Phoebus an epithet that means bright. Apollos intricate behaviour is seen throughout the Iliad and it is expressed as a duality, at times he is expressing his powerful wrath and destructive force and at others he is stating his healing powers and desire for order.

Pandaros to whom he gives his bow. Greek-Trojan War. Apollo is the most important divine supporter of the Trojans. Willcock tells us, "He is the archer god who strikes from afar, the god of disease and healing" (4). Apollo's first intervention occurs after Agamemnon had taken Apollo's priest daughter as a war prize. Apollo sends a nine day pestilence upon the Greeks. "Pack animals were his first target, and dogs, / but soldiers, too, soon felt transfixing pain from his hard shots and pyres burned night and day" (Iliad I. 23-24). Apollo also intervenes in the Greek-

Trojan War to assist the human characters. One of the warriors Apollo assists is Pandaros. In fact, Apollo is the one who gave Pandaros his bow after he broke the truce with Menelaos by shooting an arrow at him. But, this passage does not truly refer to the actual action of Apollo handing Pandaros his bow, but rather that, as Seth Schein believes, "Pandaros was a specifically good archer" (57). Because he is a good archer, it is believed that Pandaros is blessed by the god of archery. Impartial ___> neutal Agenor, Hektor's half brother, is another Trojan warrior that Apollo aids. Agenor is debating on whether or not to run into the city of Troy to save the Trojan people, because if he does he probably will be caught and killed by Achilles. Finally, he decides to run into the city and stand and face Achilles. He hit Achilles with a spear cast, and Achilles begins to fight back. But, before Achilles could do anything, Apollo intervenes by taking the form of Agenor, and removing him from the battle. Then, runs away to lure Achilles apart from the rest of the Trojans. Mark Edwards believes "Because of Apollo's intervention, both Agenor and the Trojans are saved from Achilles' wrath One view of the gods' seemingly constant intervention in the war was that they were just setting fate back on the right course. For instance, when Patroklos was killed outside of Troy, Apollo felt no guilt for his doings. As a god, he was just setting fate on a straight line. Achilles laid blame on Hektor and the Trojans. He did not even consider accusing Apollo, who never came into question, although he was primarily responsible for the kill. Apollo's part in the matter was merely accepted as a natural disaster, or illness, would be today.

In the Iliad, it is Apollo who intervenes to check the hubristic onslaughts of the Greek warriors [16]; and in the theomachy that Zeus stages for his own entertainment, Apollo refuses to join in the frivolous fighting[17]. "Under his most important and influential aspect may be included everything that connects him with law and order" [18]

As it evolves Apollos wrath Apollo is the first god to make an appearance in the Iliad and we get a look at the anger that he feels and as well as the great consequences of it. The actions of Apollo have destructive force, it holds off the greek from the Trojans.

Destructive force

Desire for order Apollo respected Zeus and his enforcing of the laws of fate, however, and kept fate as it was deemed to Represents order He represents order, harmony, and civilization in a way that most other Olympian deities cannot quite equal Apollo is rational, he respected zeus and be. An example of this is when Achilles' servant, Patroclus, tries to take the

city of Troy. Before Patroclus was allowed to wear Achilles' armor into battle,

he promised only to drive the Trojans away from the ships and not to take an

Offensive against the city of Troy. Only the reflection of Patroclus by Apollo's

shield three times prevents this. This lack of moderation shown by Patroclus,

as well as the deeming of death before the end of battle by fate, granted by

Zeus, leads to his death (Iliad, Book XVI, 398).

To conclude the Trojan War is the most famous of all Greek conflicts, and the Iliad perhaps the most famous literary work from ancient Greece. The epic of the Trojan War depicts the dark complexity of Greek mythology. The strength of so many of the myths is their depth of character and complex morality. They are not simple fairy tales of good against evil; they show conflicted characters with both good and bad qualities, ambiguity, and the roughness of life.

Apollo as a god represent a higher standard of justice and honour, as when he refuses to allow Hectors body to remain unburied, yet at the same time he shows the same bloodthirstiness and blind favouritism as the warriors on the battlefield.
