In ancient art Apollo was represented as a long haired , beardless and beautiful youth , of tall yet muscular build with handsome proportions . Images of him were as abundant as his worship was extensive . There can scarcely have been an artist of antiquity who did not try his hand upon some aspect of the mythology of Apollo .
