The Oracle of Apollo: Apollo is shown hovering over the earth, as if from the perspective of the Sun looking down on Gaia. In myth, Apollo is associated with horses and stringed instruments, depicted here as a tattoo and guitar. One hand appears strong, while the other is turned face up holding a heart--indicating the irony that while he was so strong, he was so unlucky in love. Pining for Apollo for days and nights, the water-nymph, Clytie, was so in love with the Sun, that another God took pity on her and rooted her into the ground as a sunflower.
