Basically, Apollo was more of a mediator between Zeus in Olympus and Perseus on Earth. He played much more of an active role.

An ancient dictum says that when Zeus wanted to destroy someone, he would first drive him mad.
To Armstrong, constantly speaking about 'Apollo 11' only diminished the magic. That's why he worked overtime to avoid notice, living a quiet life in Indian Hill, Ohio.
When I first played at the Apollo, the owner didn't even know who Sharon Jones was. The Apollo had never seen so many white people coming uptown.
He who commands an Apollo flight will not command a second one.
The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.

I think the Apollo has always been the people's performing arts center and reflected the community, whether it is Stevie Wonder or Tito Puente.
