Today it seemed only fitting that we visit the mastermind behind the madness, Eros. If you missed the previous posts or need a refresher on the Apollo…
I think it’s high time we return to our Greek god series here on Immortal Monday. Wouldn’t you agree? When you think of the god Apollo, do visions of the sun god come to mind? Did you know Apollo wasn’t always known for the sun, but for prophecy, music and healing? That’s right, healing. A…
