Since you have asked about Apollo, I will tell you some
similarities of ancient festivals between far off
located people. The Roman mythology says that Ianus
(Janus) as a solar god presided over daybreak under the
name Matutinus. He was the god of doorways. His
insignia were the key which opens and closes the door.
In the Forum, he had a temple whose gates were open in
times of war and closed in times of peace. January was
named for him because it began the new year and his
festival took place on January 9, the Agonium. Nox was
goddess of night. Matutu was goddess of dawn; the name
is cognate with Poddu (the sun, day time) in Telugu.
Ayanamu, which is cognate with Ianus, in Telugu means
doors which were open in times of war and closed in
times of peace. The Sun's northward journey (T. Uttara
Ayanamu) from the tropic of Capricorn, called Samkranti
(CT. Sanku Rautri, 'beginning of contraction of
night'), begins on January 14. It is the major festival
of the Andhras which lasts four days. The third day is
called Kanuma - this word is cognate with "Agonium".
The Latin word Januarius, on reading in the reverse
direction, gives the hidden Telugu words Soori (L. sol)
and Nisi (L. nox) - this is to indicate that the
duration of night reaches its longest. We know that the
Sun enters mid-heaven (Capricorn) sign on January 14.
Connected with the cult of Aeneas was that of Anna
Perenna. When the plebians took refuge on the Mons
Sacer, she brought them food to eat in the guise of an
old woman. Annona was the goddess who was prayed to
have abundance in grain. An Indian legend says that
once upon a time in remote antiquity, there was famine
in the regions around Varanasi and food became scarce.
Goddess Durga came in the guise of an old woman named
Anna Poorna and gave food to the people who took refuge
in the holy temple city, Varanasi. The Andhras pray to
her to give abundance in grain. Annam, a word which is
cognate with Annona, means 'cooked rice' in Telugu.
The following are sites for Athena. They also give information
