The name "acritol" means "star" in Greek and refers to the star itself. In Greek mythology, the god Apollo was the son of a siren called Aeolicus (or Acropolis) who lived on an island named Acrotis. The god was so jealous that he killed Acropolis with his sword. Apollo's mother then transformed into Acritolus, the name given to her by her husband. She became a goddess and was known for her beauty and kindness towards all creatures in need. In classical antiquity, Apollo was one of the 27 gods who ruled over the earth. He was associated with wisdom, healing, and poetry. Apollo is known for his famous hymn "Iphigenia", which tells a story of how he killed his mother to fulfill her wishes. The poem was later written down by Pyrrhus, the son of his mother. In modern times, Apollo has been depicted as a mythological figure with a significant influence on popular culture. Today, Apollo is remembered for his great wisdom and love for art and music. The name "acritol" means "star" in Greek and refers to the star itself.
