SYNOPSIS: Felix in the Footsteps of Leonidas Part 3: Dedicated to Apollo we find our hero back at the beach for one "last stand."  Felix's imagination sees him portraying young Apollo and acting out an ancient battle of what must have been quite a war!

EDITORIAL REVIEW: In Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo, the ideal of the kouros (a beardless youth), was the archer-god of medicine and healing, light, truth, archery and also a bringer of death-dealing plague.  Apollo was the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of the chaste huntress Artemis, who took the place of Selene in some myths as goddess of the moon.  Apollo had the most prominent male relationships of all the Greek Gods.  That was to be expected from a god who was god of the palaestra, the athletic gathering place for youth who all competed in the nude, a god said to represent the ideal educator and therefore the ideal erastes, or lover of a boy.  All of his lovers were younger than him, in the style of the Greek pederasty relationships of the time. Many of Apollo's young beloveds died "accidentally", a reflection on the function of these myths as part of rites of passage, in which the youth died in order to be reborn as an adult.
