Apollo in one version of the myth, killed both 'Otis' and his brother... so if Apollo can hold his own against two of Gaea's children specifically designed to destroy him, he and Artemis are on the same page. Not necessarily, as the Titans are more powerful than the Giants - and the giant specifically created to destroy Apollo is Orion (in the Riordanverse), whom Apollo never fought, so that point is moot, I'm afraid And we know at full power he is equal with his sons because? Did I miss something? No? Yes? If I did, you're going to have to rejog my memory with a quote.

If so, why was Kronos so afraid of his godly children such that he swallowed them? Was it really just because of the prophecy? Or was it because by the wordings of the prophecy it was clear that gods were going to be more powerful than titans? If all these questions are answered sensibly, I'll change my vote.
