According to some pagan calendars, May 14 is listed as the Birthday of Apollo. However, according to the mythology, Apollo was born on the seventh day of the month Thargelion. Wikipedia goes on to say that this was according to Delian tradition, and that according to Delphian tradition, it was the seventh day of the month of Bysios. The seventh and twentieth, the days of the new and full moon, were also held sacred to him.
If the exact date is important you you, I'd suggest you take a look at the Wikipedia article on the
Attic Calendar which gives the names of the months and their approximate times in the year....
... I am so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been moved to my new website,
The Pagan Calendar, and can be found in its entirety here:
Happy Birthday Apollo
