Apollo is the God of the Sun of Olympus in the Tenkai Hen, Saint Seiya's final arc. Twin brother of Artemis, he represents the most ambitious and dangerous face of the divine pantheon. Dissatisfied with Athena's authority over the Earth and the knights devoted to her, he meticulously prepares a plan to seize her throne, convinced that only solar light deserves to govern humanity.
Unlike other divine antagonists, Apollo does not act in fury — he plans, manipulates and waits for the perfect moment. This cold intelligence, combined with an absolute solar power, makes him one of the most formidable opponents the knights have ever faced. Confronting men who have crossed the Twelve Houses, survived Poseidon and defeated the armies of Hades, Apollo represents the ultimate test: that of Olympian divinity in all its implacable splendor.
