Apollo Biography
Symbols Of Apollo
The shrine at the Oracle of Delphi was undoubtedly the major place of worship of Apollo, the god of the sun. Other very famous Apollo worship centers were at Delos (also known as Ortygia), Rhodes, Ptoion, and Claros. With regards to Delos, the place was the very Island where Apollo was born.

Apollo Disease
Apollo Hemorrhagic Conjuctivitis, also known as Apollo 11 disease, after the NASA Space Mission, was first described in 1969. Causative agents are enterovirus 70 and a variant of coxsackievirus A24. The condition is usually benign, and self-limiting; however, a polio-like paralysis develops in approximately one in 10,000 patients.
In reality, the eye-watering malady the West African natives were dealing with — acute hemorhaghic conjunctivitis, or AHC — had no connection to the famed mission.
But an outbreak in Ghana in 1969 coincided with the timing of the moon landing and suspicion spread, just as the disease spread for the next three years across western and central Africa to the Middle East.
It's still called "Apollo" in that part of the world and is a severe, contagious form of what's commonly called pink eye.
