Apollo is the Greek god of music, poetry, and the arts. There were also the nine muses, minor goddesses or spirits led by Apollo, who inspire the creation of arts. Each muse had a domain of art that she inspired:

  • Calliope - epic poetry
  • Clio- history
  • Erato- lyric poetry
  • Euterpe - music
  • Melpomene - tragedy
  • Polyhymnia- choral poetry
  • Terpsichore- dance
  • Thalia- comedy
  • Urania- Astrology

That's an odd questions, since ART and SCIENCE are two very different concepts. That said, the Greek gods were more personifications of nature or emotion, rather than concepts. The arts would have been under the purview of the Muses. Science was in contrast to religion, so they didn't have a god of Science.
