What this means
Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.
Does not imply an independently established biological relationship · agreement between accounts · marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing · shared parentage in every account · descent from the same generation in a single tree

Accounts
Where Apollo appears
Each work is its own account. Where two disagree about a parent or a deed, both readings stand.
What this means
Works this figure is recorded as appearing in. Each is an account, not a chapter of one story: where two of them disagree about a parent or a deed, both readings stand and this site keeps the disagreement. The earliest account below is computed from these works, not stated by any source — a fact about which texts this collection holds and when they were written, not a date for the figure, who has none, and not a floor for the tradition, which is older than anything that survives of it.

A date for the text, never for the deity.Later works
Later works that name Apollo
Written in 1500 CE or later, and not religious texts: works that retell or borrow the figure, not accounts of it.
What this means
Sorted out of the accounts by each work’s own recorded date on the source clock, and by its record not marking it as a religious text: the split is worked out here, not stated by any source. A religious text of any date stays among the accounts. None of these supplies the earliest account.

Connections
How Apollo connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Identification 14
