Apollo

titan in Greek mythology

Belenus (Gaulish: Belenos, Belinos) is an ancient Celtic healing god whose cult is attested across much of the Celtic-speaking world. While his principal centre of worship lay at Aquileia in northeastern Italy, and the deity is primarily associated with the Noricum region, mentions extend from the Italian peninsula to the British Isles, including Gaul, Aquitania, and Britain.

Resheph (also Reshef and many other variants, see below; Eblaite , Rašap, , ršp, Egyptian '', , ršp, Rešep̄'') was a god associated with war and plague, originally worshiped in Ebla in the third millennium BCE. He was one of the main members of the local pantheon, and was worshiped in numerous hypostases, some of which were associated with other nearby settlements, such as Tunip. He was associated with the goddess Adamma, who was his spouse in Eblaite tradition. Eblaites considered him and the Mesopotamian god Nergal to be equivalents, most likely based on their shared role as war deities.

The hyporchema (or "hyperchema") () was a lively kind of mimic dance which accompanied the songs used in the worship of Apollo, especially among the Dorians. It was performed by men and women. It is comparable to the geranos (γερανός), the ritual "crane dance" associated with Theseus.

Apaliunas (Hittite: 𒀀𒀊𒉺𒇷𒌋𒈾𒀸 Āppaliunāš) is the name of a god, attested in a Hittite language treaty as a protective deity of Wilusa. Apaliunas is considered to be the Hittite reflex of *Apeljōn, an early form of the name Apollo, which may also be surmised from comparison of Cypriot (Apeílōn) with Doric (Apéllōn).
