Chiron mentored his foster brother Asklepios, a mortal son of Apollon:

@myzoeisms @rogueclassicist @Pottedhistory @PottedApprentis The flying phallus is a common apotropaic symbol in both ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

Those who dive from the top of the Rock of Leukade on the island of Leukos in Western Greece (today Lefkada) are, it is said, freed from their love.
After the death of Adonis it is said Aphrodite wandered around searching for the means to rid herself of her love.

Dionysos invited Apollo & Hermes to one of his orgies.
He looks only mildly interested in tickling the shepherd boy but Apollo seems very much into it 😁
