Page "Apollo" Paragraph 55
from
Wikipedia
Unusually among the Olympic deities, Apollo had two cult sites that had widespread influence: Delos and Delphi.
In cult practice, Delian Apollo and Pythian Apollo ( the Apollo of Delphi ) were so distinct that they might both have shrines in the same locality.
Apollo became extremely important to the Greek world as an oracular deity in the archaic period, and the frequency of theophoric names such as Apollodorus or Apollonios and cities named Apollonia testify to his popularity.
In the 2nd and 3rd century CE, those at Didyma and Clarus pronounced the so-called " theological oracles ", in which Apollo confirms that all deities are aspects or servants of an all-encompassing, highest deity.
