ψευσίστυξ (pseusístyx) - a poetic epithet of Apollo mentioned in an anonymous hymn recorded under Anthologia Graeca with the meaning "one who hates falsehoods".
Hail Shining Apollo,
Blessed is your touch upon my spirit. You who knows me and has been with me, who walks the long road with me, who gifts me with your love.
Guide me back to you. Guide me to feel close to you again. I'm asking you, Lord, with reverence and love in my heart.
take your meds. do it for Apollo and Asklepios

Apollo, Death-bringer, wolf-tamer; o' God as cruel as you are loving.

This painting, done by Charles Le Brun (French, 1619-1690) in 1674 or 1679, is created using black and white chalks on a piece of Japanese paper. It was a part of a study done by the artist for decorating one of the staircases in the Palace of Versailles. The staircase was, sadly, destroyed upon the order of Louis XV.
Apollo is supposed to be leaning onto His golden tripod, holding onto a bow that He has just used to slay the Python; the God's pose is relaxed, gaze - serene.

Apollon de Lillebonne
This bronze statue depicting Apollo of Lillebonne was likely created in the 2nd century AD and went through numerous repairs in Antiquity. He is depicted naked, as typical of this God, and with His hair partially lifted in an intricate hairstyle.

I started this last year when I was thinking a lot about the representation of violence and the image of the gods in ancient Greek art - it’s Apollo (based on the Olympia pediment) flaying Marsyas.

In the same book, Plutarch (at some point a Delphic priest) explains that Apollo would indicate a day when a prophecy is to be made (as it is to be a good, auspicious day) by making the sacrificial goat/lamb tremble when it's being pouted libations on.
That would also indicate that the God is present within the temple and ready to answer questions.
Versions of the color reconstruction of Apollo Belvedere done by Stephen Chappell, an American digital artist. These pieces were done for the exhibition Qui es-tu, Apollon? (Who are you, Apollo?) that is currently held by the Juliobona museum, Lillebonne, France.
This is my personal favorite part of the artist's explanation as to why he chose specific colors for this statue (beyond those derived through polychrome research):
As for the chlamys (cloak), I felt the color red was appropriate for this moment where Apollo is a death bringer, a warrior. This isn’t Apollo the kitharist, the musician; this isn’t Apollo the lover. This is the sun god with his corona of golden hair, loosing a golden arrow to kill the monstrous python. His cloak had to be red.
The exhibition will be open until November 30, 2023.

Me:” I feel so disconnected from my gods maybe they’ve abandoned me or they are angry” Apollo:”no girl it’s called depression go take a vitamin D and go outside”
