The major difference are the relms of which the gods rule. MArs is the god of war. Apollo is like the opposite of Mars. Apollo is the god of the sun and fine arts, music, and prophecy. They are different as well because of their personalities. Apollo has a more kind manner;whereas, Mars is more cruel and warfarish.
