Apollo is both a Greek and Roman god. As a Greek god, he controls the sun.
Animals associated with Apollo include wolves, dolphins, deer, swans, cicadas (insects symbolizing music), hawks, ravens, crows, snakes, mice and griffins (the mythical lion-eagle).
The animals that commonly represent Apollo are:
The snake: Apollo slayed the Python that threatened his mother, Leto.
The crow: Apollo turned their feather's black when they told him something he thought was a lie. They are often seen as prophets of Apollo.
The cow: Apollo has a herd of cattle in Olympus
Roe Deer
Swans
and the Dolphin.
Apollo was never actually described by the Greek poets driving the chariot of the sun, although it was common practice among Latin poets.
Helios is still known as the 'sun god' - the one who drives the sun chariot across the sky each day.
"Names of the Horses of Sol [Helios the Sun]. Eous; by him the sky is turned. Aethiops, as if faming, parches the grain. These trace-horses are male. The female are yoke-bearers: Bronte, whom we call thunder (tonitrua), Sterope, whom we call lightning (fulgitrua). Eumelus of Corinth is the authority for this. There are also the ones that Homer names: Abraxas, Therbeeo. Ovid, too: Pyrois, Eous, Aethon, and Phlegon." - Hyginus, Fabulae 183
Apollo's animals are the great white cattle. Today we know them as clouds.
