    (apollymi) meaning "to destroy". In Greek mythology Apollo was the son of Zeus and Leto
    and the twin of Artemis. He was the god of prophecy, medicine, music, art, law, beauty, and
    wisdom. Later he also became the god of the sun and light.

    Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of
    chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans with Diana. ... Artemis was the
    daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo.
