Uma uyithanda kakhulu inganekwane yamaGrikhi, awungeke uphuthelwe yilokhu okulandelayo lapho sizobuza khona ngesibalo sikaPhoebus (ukuthi amaRoma ayemazi kanjani lo nkulunkulu), ukubaluleka kwenganekwane ka-Apollo, imvelaphi yakhe, umsebenzi wakhe nomndeni wakhe, phakathi kwezinye izinto.

Wayengubani u-Apollo?

Ngokwenganekwane yamaGreki u-Apollo wayeyindodana kaZeus, unkulunkulu onamandla kunabo bonke wase-Olympus, noLeto, indodakazi yetitan eyayikhonzwa njengonkulunkulukazi wobusuku nemini ngokushintshana.

UZeus ekuqaleni wayenesithakazelo ku-Asteria, owayengudadewabo kaLeto, futhi wazama ukumbamba ngenkani. Kodwa-ke, ukwazile ukubaleka waphenduka izigwaca kepha njengoba lobuNkulunkulu buqhubeka nokumhlukumeza, ekugcineni waziphonsa olwandle waba yisiqhingi sase-Ortigia.

Engafezekisi inhloso yakhe, uZeus wabe ebeka amehlo akhe kuLeto owaphindisela futhi kusuka kulobo budlelwano wakhulelwa u-Apollo newele lakhe u-Artemis. Kodwa-ke, unkosikazi osemthethweni kaZeus, uHera, ezwa ngokuzijabulisa komyeni wakhe, waqala ushushiso olubi ngokumelene noLeto waze wafuna usizo lwendodakazi yakhe u-Eileithyia, unkulunkulukazi wokuzalwa, ukuvimbela ukuzalwa kwe-titanid.

Futhi kwenzeka kanjalo. Kodwa-ke, u-Artemis wahlabeka umxhwele ngokuhlupheka kukanina waze wanquma ukuhlala eyintombi nto kuze kube phakade.

Kepha lesi sigameko asigcinanga lapho. Engafezekisanga inhloso yakhe, uHera waphinda wazama ukuqeda uLeto nezingane zakhe ngokuthumela inhlwathi ukuba ibabulale. Futhi, onkulunkulu bahawukela isiphetho sikaLeto futhi benza u-Apollo akhule ezinsukwini ezine kuphela ukubulala lesi silo ngemicibisholo eyinkulungwane.

Njengoba inyoka kwakuyisilwane saphezulu, u-Apollo kwakudingeka enze inhlawulo yokuyibulala nokuthi lapho i-python yawela khona, kwakhiwa i-Oracle yaseDelphi. Indodana kaZeus yaba umphathi wale ndawo, ukuhlebela kamuva izibikezelo ezindlebeni zababhuli noma ama-pythias.

Kodwa ubutha bukaHera noLeto abugcinanga lapha kepha inganekwane ka-Apollo ilandisa ukuthi bobabili u-Artemis naye kwakudingeka aqhubeke nokuba ngabavikeli bakanina kuze kube phakade, njengoba uHera engazange ayeke ukumhlupha. Isibonelo, ngokusho kwezinganekwane zamaGrikhi, amawele abulala amadodana kaNíobe ayi-14, ahlekisa nge-titan engenamusa, nogebhezi uTitius, ababefuna ukumphoqa.

Lapho eqala ukudlala insimbi, indodana kaZeus yamangala ngokuba ngumuntu othanda umculo kakhulu futhi baba abangane abakhulu.

U-Apollo ubuye amelwe egibele inqola yegolide yeLanga ukuthi amahhashi amane amahle ayedonsa ukuwela isibhakabhaka. Ngalesi sizathu, uthathwa njengonkulunkulu wokukhanya, uHelios engunkulunkulu weLanga. Kodwa-ke, kwezinye izikhathi zomlando bobabili onkulunkulu bakhonjwa koyedwa, u-Apollo.
