'Feb' Silver Threads Tapestry with Swarovski
Phaebus (Feb) is the second name of Apollo, god of light (Phaebus - “radiant”, “shining”), patron of the arts, leader and patron of the Muses, predictor of the future, god-healer, patron of settlers, personification of male beauty. One of the most honored ancient gods. In the period of late antiquity personifies the Sun.
Phebus is depicted with a quadriga of horses carrying him across the firmament. Breaking the blackness of night, Phebus paves the way for the coming day. 
The importance of this god is evidenced by the number of festivals, oracles and temples in honor of Apollo, the name of many months in the calendar in honor of one or another of his hypostases.
After the conquests of Alexander the Great, the cult of Apollo spread as far as Hindustan. In the Roman Republic his cult was adopted in the V century B.C. The peak of his veneration came during the reign of Octavian Augustus. The Roman emperor built a slender ideological system of the advent of the “golden age”, the guarantors of which were the emperor and Apollo.
The image of Apollo is very common in the fine arts as an ideal of male, youthful beauty. Mythological subjects were reflected in sculptures and paintings by the most famous masters of Antiquity, Renaissance and New Age, such as Praxiteles, Raphael, Tintoretto, Lucas Cranach the Elder and others. The statue of Apollo of Belvedere, according to the “father of art history” Johann Winkelmann, is “the highest ideal of art among all works of antiquity”.

The ancient ideas about Apollo are reflected in the philosophy of the New and Modern times. Any culture, according to Friedrich Nietzsche, is a combination of “Apollonian” rational and “Dionysian” instinctive principles.
