He was also a god of light known as "Phoebus" (radiant or beaming, and he was sometimes identified with Helios the sun god). He was also the god of plague and was worshiped as Smintheus (from sminthos, rat) and as Parnopius (from parnops, grasshopper) and was known as the destroyer of rats and locust. Classic depiction of Apollo standing next to a swan, with goldleaf painted accents, and fine details thru-out this cold-cast resin statue. Approx 11" tall. | | | |
