Phoebus Apollo smiles upon his altar at Delos


A marble altar in the ruins of Delos is reflecting the sunlight. This is fitting as Delos is the mythical birthplace of the Greek sun god Apollo (and his sister goddess Artemis). My attribution of this particular altar as dedicated to Apollo is speculative. Why let fact get in the way of a good story?
