Top 5 Immortal Children of Apollo?

We don't have many options, the list of his immortal children is short, and most of them don't have myths about them. But here are my fav Apollo kids (immortal)

Asclepius - It's every parent's dream to have a child who becomes a doctor XD also non problematic in every way. No wonder he's daddy's favorite.

Hymenaeus - WINGS! Also, because he's the god of marriage hymns, I think he'd pester his dad to get married 😂 "Dad I want to sing at your wedding! Why don't you understand? Get married already!"

Aristaeus - who doesn't love a bee keeping, cheese making god? He's that dude who'd sip ambrosia amidst godly drama but lose his mind over the queen bee's death.

Ialemenus - the personification of lamentation. He's seems like the black sheep of the family 😂 making sad poem over small things like his lost handkerchief.

Musa Apollonides - literally "Muses of Apollo". They're 3 daughters named Apollonis, Borysthenis and Cephissso. They have no myths but. like.,,,, Apollo with his lil girls,,,niiiice (bc most of his kids are sons) They're said to be the personification of his lyre strings, which is why they're nicknamed Nete, Mese and Hypate (lowest, middle and highest string) (I know this makes the list 8 and not 5, but oh well)

THE MOUSAI APOLLONIDES

They were three younger Muses, daughters of the god Apollon. They were honoured at the shrine of Delphi.

The three were sometimes called Nete, Mese, and Hypate after the lowest, middle and highest strings of the lyre.

The Apollonides were one of three sets of Muses–the others being the Olympian Nine and the Titanid Three.

Got any more info on the Musa Apollonides?

I think the only info that exists is that they're Apollo's daughters and were honored in Delphi.

#Asks #Anon #Well their names too #But other than that I've not found anything so far #They don't even have their mother mentioned

Did Apollo have any daughters? All his famous children are sons.. .

Apollo did have daughters, but he has had sooo many sons, the number overshadows that of the daughters :P he had 8 daughters.

Phemonoe: She was famous for being Apollo’s first Pythia, and for inventing hexameter verse. It’s said she built a temple for her father on Python’s rotting body and named herself Pythia to celebrate his victory. She is also credited for inscribing the Delphic maxim “know thyself” on the temple. She was respected very much among the poets.

Musa Apollonides: Apollonis, Bryosthenis and Cephiso, this triad were minor Muses. They represented the highest, middle and lowest strings of Apollo’s lyre. They were honored at Apollo’s shrine at Delphi.

Eriopis: She was a daughter of Apollo and Arsinoe, and was known for her Lovely hair. (According some people, Asclepius was the son of Arsinoe, not Koronis, making Eriopis the own sister of Asclepius)

Parthenos: Apollo’s daughter by Chrysothemis. It’s said that she died young, and to immortalize her, Apollo turned her into Virgo constellation.

Phoebe & Hilyra: The wives of Castor and Polydeuces, their divine father was Apollo, but they were raised by Leucippus.

Among these, Phemonoe was arguably the most famous, especially among poets.
