Since you love Apollo so much, how do you feel about Rick Riordan's Trials of Apollo series making him an abuse victim?

I actually love the trials of Apollo! There are differences in fiction and the gods my good friend! Apollo recognizes that those aren't “him” and so do worshipers, I like it as ~fiction~ and simply a book. I refuse to use it for my practice and just like seeing him being reverent times. Apollos is not an abuse victim, And he is a god, he is not a human and never will be, and he honestly wouldn't give a guck (personally) how people see him if they aren't worshipers, he has better things to do. Rick Riordan doesn't worship Apollo, he doesn't think of them still being “relevant” or real at all, like how atheists are with our religion, and how some Hellenic are with Christianity, so I see how no use how people will take that as “actual” Apollo. I don't know what point you are making personally, because I actually used to have it on Lord Apollo's alter while borrowing it from a library and he saw no problem with it, he was probably happy I sought out work with him in it even if it isn't the “actual” him and he knows I would never associate TOP with his personality. Apollo knows my worship will never change throughout time and neither will my love, I worship him, he is not my friend or family, I worship because he is my god and no fiction or non-fiction can change my love. I saw this with a mean tone, but this is how I feel. I simply see it as fiction and a way to interpret myths and then use it in modern works, not the actual god.
