Resumo

The present study focuses on how etymology could play an important role in the mythology of Apollo. Obviously, when it comes to the issue of the meaning of names, one often enters the realm of speculation. However, in many instances of Apollo’s mythology, etymology seems to reflect important aspects of the myth. These aspects start with Apollo’s family and birth, and continue with his role in Greek mythology. The accord between etymology and mythology appears to be more than a simple coincidence.
