Anatolio - Tales of Apollo
Pride built him up. Mercy will break him down.
Once revered as the golden god of music and light, Apollo finds himself drowning in vanity, drunk on praise and beauty - until Zeus casts him down in a storm of divine fury. Stripped of power, of name, of warmth, Apollo awakens in the body of a beggar, cursed to suffer among the mortals he once ignored.
In a poverty-stricken village, freezing and alone, he meets a woman with nothing - except the strength to shelter a stranger and the heart to ask the gods not for herself, but for her children.
Now voiceless, nameless, and unknown, Apollo must walk among humans and learn the weight of compassion, sacrifice, and humility.
But as his mortal soul begins to stir... the sun inside him is not so easily snuffed out.
🌓 A tale of divine fall and human grace. Of broken gods and unbroken hearts.
💫 He will rise again. But first, he must kneel.
