Apollo was also the God of prophecy. For a thousand years, emperors and rulers came to the oracle of Delphi, housed in his temple, to hear the prophecies that shaped the history of the Mediterranean world. Apollo was the son of Zeus and the twin brother of Artemis (whom the Romans called Diana). The bust is made from the full figure that experts now consider to be the work of Leochares.

The nobility of the classical features and the sharp, realistic gaze have made it one of the most admired masterpieces of antiquity. The statue occupies a special niche known as the Gabinetto dell'Apollo at the Vatican. Apollo (David) was a very popular god in Greek and Roman mythology due to his passions and gifts to humanity.
