Apollo at The Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario

Apollo was a powerful Greek and Roman deity revered for his mastery of music, poetry, and prophecy. For centuries, the people of Pompeii had fervently worshipped him in their magnificent temple, which stood proudly for approximately 600 years. Beside Apollo stood a fierce guardian griffin, a majestic creature born from the union of lion and eagle. The elegant marble statue's rigid, antiquated Greek design revealed that Apollo was deeply revered by the people long before the Romans claimed dominion over his cult.
