444, A poll in aris, surnamed "The Younger." Died about 390. Bishop of Laodicea, and founder of the sect of the Apollinarians. A poll in aris Fountain (a-pol-i-nā'ris foun'tān). A mineral spring near Neuenahr, 25 miles northwest of Coblentz, Pru ia, discovered in 1853. Its waters are largely exported. A poll in aris Sidonius. See Sidonius , Apolli naris . A poll i no (ä-pol-lēnō). A statue in the tribune of the Uffizi, Florence. It is an antique copy from a Greek original, probably of the 4th century B. C., representing an effeminate type of the youthful Apollo standing easily and gracefully. A poll i no polis Magna (a-pol-i-nop'ō-lis mag'of Egypt, near Edfu. See Edfu. An ancient city of Egypt, A poll on i a world, and he bore several names, of which the most im portant were Maponos, Grannos, and Toutiorix. Three inscriptions in honour of Apollo Maponos have been discovered in the north of England, and in one of them, found near A in stable, in Cumber land, he is called Deus Map on us, without any allusion to Apollo. Fortunately the name Maponos offers no difficulty: it is the same word as the old Welsh map on, now mabon, 'boy or male child,' which occurs, for example, in a Welsh poem in the Book of Talie in, a manuscript of the 13th century: it is there applied to the infant Jesus, in a pa age describing the coming of the Magi to him at Bethlehem. Thus it seems certain that some of the Celts worshipped an Apollo whom they described as an infant, and this is borne out by a group of inscriptions at the other extremity of the Celtic world of antiquity: I allude to the ancient province of Dacia, and especially Carlsburg and its neighbourhood, in Transylvania, where we find him styled Deus Bonus Puer Posphorus, Apollo Pythius, Bonus Puer Posphorus, or Bonus Deus Puer Posphorus. Our Maponos is in all probability the Bonus Puer attested by these inscriptions. Rhys, Celtic Heathendom, p. 22. Apollo Belvedere (a-pol'ō bel-va-dā're). A famous statue in the Vatican, Rome. It is a fine antique copy of a Greek original in bronze - po ibly an offering set up at Delphi (it may be in connection with the Diana of Versailles, in the Louvre), in commemoration of the divine aid which (by a natural convulsion) repelled the Gallic hordes from the Delphic sanctuary in 279 в. С. The god stands as a vigorous youth, undraped except for a chlamys clasped round the neck and thrown over the extended left arm, apparently having just discharged an arrow whose flight he watches. The theory that the left hand held an ægis is not supported. Apollo Chresterios (a-pol'ō kres-tē'ri-os). [Gr. Ἀπόλλων χρηστήριος.] Apollo of oracles. Apollo Citharœdus (a-pol'o sith-a-re'dus). [Gr. κιθαρωδός , one who plays on the cithara, a harper.] 1. A statue in the Vatican, Rome. The god, strongly feminine in type, advances laurel crowned and draped in long tunic and himation, as he touches the strings of his lyre. An attempt has been made to connect this statue with Nero's musical succe es in Greece. 2. A notable antique marble statue in the Glyptothek, Munich. The figure is shrouded in full draperies of feminine type, including the long tunic with diplois. The lyre is held high against the left shoulder. The head is of late character. Apollo Club. A famous club held in the 17th century at the Devil Tavern near Temple Bar. It was frequented by Ben Jonson, Randolph, Herrick, and others. Apollo of Tenea. An archaic Greek statue in the Glyptothek at Munich, probably representing not Apollo but an athlete. It is important in sculpture as representing a type in a cla , unknown until late years, of early Greek undraped statues characterized by the awkwardne of artistic infancy. Apollo of Thera (the rä). A statue of Apollo in the National Museum, Athens, a typical example of youthful manhood in Greek archaic sculpture. The figure is undraped. Apollo Sauroktonos (a-pol'ō sa-rok'tō-nos). [Gr. Σαυροκτόνος , the lizard-slayer.] A statue in the Vatican, Rome. The god is represented as a beautiful youth, undraped, graceful, and feminine, about to transfix with a dart a lizard (a method of divination) which ascends a tree-trunk on which he leans. It is a reproduction of a work in bronze by Praxiteles. Apollo Slaying the Python. A noted painting by Turner, in the National Gallery, London. Apollo dor us (a-pol-o-dō'rus). [Gr. Ἀπολλόδω ρος .] Born at Athens: flourished about 404 в.с. The first of the great school of Greek painters, an elder contemporary of Zeuxis and Parr has i us. Pliny mentions a priest in adoration and an Ajax struck by lightning by this master. He seems to have been the first important painter to abandon the old sche This was undoubtedly due to the discovery of perspective a ociated with the scene-painter A gath arcus and the philosophers Demo crit us and Anaxagoras. Apollo (a-pol'o). [Gr. Ἀπόλλων , Doric Ἀπέλλων ; matic arrangements for the actual relations of nature. a ociated in popular etym. with ἀπολλίναι , de- stroy, to which notion some of his attributes are due; prob. of Eastern origin. See quota- tions.] In Greek and later in Roman mythol- ogy, one of the great Olympian gods, the son of Zeus (Jupiter) and Leto (Latona), represent- ing the light and life-giving influence, as well as the deadly power, of the sun, and often joined to Jeremiah), parts of Daniel (namely, Song of the Three Children, the History of Susanna, the Destruction of Bel and the Dragon), the Prayer of Mana es, and First and Second Maccabees. Most of these are recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as fully canonical, though theo logians of that church often distinguish them as deutero canonical, on the ground that their place in the canon was decided later than that of the other books, limiting the name Apocrypha to the two (last) books of Esdras and the Prayer of Mana es, and other books not in the above collection, namely, Third and Fourth Maccabees, a book of Enoch, an additional or 151st Psalm of David, and eigh teen Psalms of Solomon. With these sometimes are included certain pseudepigraphic books, such as the Apocalypse of Baruch and the A umption of Moses. The name Apocrypha is also occasionally made to embrace the Antilegomena of the New Testament. The Greek Church makes no distinction among the books contained in the Septuagint. Apodaca (ä-po-dä'kä), Juan Ruiz de. Born at Cadiz, Feb. 3, 1754: died at Madrid, Jan. 11, 1835. A Spanish naval officer and admin is leader of the Muses, god of music, poetry, and healing, and patron of these arts; a mighty protector from evil, all- seeing, and hence the master of prophecy; also the de- stroyer of the unjust and insolent, and ruler of pestilence. In art he was represented in the full majesty of youthful manhood, in most of his attributions unclothed or but lightly draped, and usually characterized by the bow and arrows, the laurel, the lyre, the oracular tripod, the ser- pent, or the dolphin. He was the father of Esculapius, to whom he granted his art of healing. Apollo was hon- ored, both locally and generally, under many special titles, of which each had its particular type in art and literature: as, Apollo Citharœdus (Apollo who sings to the accompa- niment of the lyre), equivalent to Apollo Musagetes , the conductor of the Muses; Apollo Sauroktonos (the lizard- killer), etc. The oldest epigraphic form of the name of Apollo is Aplu, which corresponds to the Semitic Ablu, the "son of heaven, which was one of the titles of Tammuz the Syrian sun-god.
