Original Continuity

In the original Battlestar Galactica (1978), Captain Apollo is played by actor Richard Hatch.

Apollo is the son of Commander Adama & Ila. Apollo's mother, Ila, was killed in The Destruction of the Twelve Colonies. (Ila's picture as seen in the series is actually a photo of Sophia Loren.) Apollo had a younger brother Zak who was killed while trying to alert the Colonial Fleet to an impending attack by the Cylons. He also has a sister, Athena, who is a bridge officer on the Galactica. Ever since the original series aired, Richard Hatch has repeatedly tried to make a continuation of the original series, in which Apollo is now Commander of the Galactica.

New Continuity

In the current incarnation, Battlestar Galactica (2003), Apollo is no longer the character's name but rather his call sign (although Laura Roslin calls him 'Captain Apollo' anyway). His real name is Lee Adama and he is played by the actor Jamie Bamber.

Also in Battlestar Galactica (2003), Apollo is the name of one of the Lords of Kobol. (One of the Colonials' Gods). Apollo is the son of Zeus, and Lord of the Hunt and Lord of Healing.

Lord Apollo is symbolized by the Arrow of Apollo, a religious artifact brought from Kobol to the Colonies.
