Favorite #queer stories from Greek mythology for #MythologyMonday
3.
When Apollo takes revenge for the death of his son Asclepius, he is exiled to serve a mortal man for a year. He serves King Admetos, and falls in love with him. After his year of service he helps Admetos win his wife Alkestis - another great Greek love story.
My point is, this is probably the only story of unrequited love about Apollo where he unselfishly helps his beloved, instead of assault or revenge.
