Read the following excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson’s essay "On the Enjoyment of Unpleasant Places":
The ways of men seem always very trivial to us when we find ourselves alone on a church–top, with the blue sky and a few tall pinnacles, and see far below us the steep roofs and foreshortened buttresses, and the silent activity of the city streets; but how much more must they not have seemed so to him as he stood, not only above other men’s business, but above other men’s climate, in a golden zone like Apollo’s!
The reference to Apollo in this excerpt is a mythological allusion. In Greek mythology, Apollo is the god of the sun. He is the ruler of Mount Olympus, the home of the Greek gods—a beautiful place blessed with a perfect climate. It never rained on Mount Olympus, and there were no strong winds. It had several peaks from where Apollo and the other gods looked down upon the struggles of humans but stayed aloof.
What do you think the allusion to Apollo means in the excerpt?
