Apollo is one of the Ocean Masters employed by Three Rings. He was hired in September 2005 as the fourth wave of Ocean Master. No others were hired with his wave.

Character

Along with Artemis and Bia, Apollo is an OM charged with helping to organize and assist players with special events. Forum events run by Apollo include creative events like the Pillaging Picasso contest, the Dead Letter Office contest, and the December Daily Doodles, run every year since 2005. (forum threads: 2005; 2006; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2010; 2011; 2012). In-game events include introducing the Oceanmaster Lucky Dip event (2005; 2006) and regular duty puzzle bake-offs. He also runs the Olympic Champions League with Artemis.

Apollo has a black parrot called Crow. When on duty, Apollo was usually seen on one of three ships - the Golden Lyre, the Salmon of Doubt or the Dark Side of the Sun. Following a Doodle in December 2009, though, he has an additional selection of ships for use when on duty: the Freddled Gruntbuggly, the Sentient Puddle, the Pythian Plaice, and the Cosmic Cheerleader!

In mythology

In Greek mythology, Apollo was born to Zeus and Leto as Artemis' twin. Artemis was the goddess of the moon and night, and Apollo was charged with the sun, daytime and light. He is also said to have been the god of truth, prophecy, medicine, and health, as well as of music, playing the lyre created by the god Hermes.
