1392 ENT_APOLLO received_as ENT_CHR_APOLLYON high Revelation 9:11 names the angel of the bottomless pit "Apollyon" (Ἀπολλύων, "Destroyer"), a transparent Greek wordplay on Apollo (Ἀπόλλων). The identification would have been unmistakable to Greek-speaking audiences: the great healing and oracular god becomes the angel of destruction and the abyss. Justin Martyr (1 Apol. 24) explicitly lists Apollo among the gods who are demons. The Apollo→Apollyon chain is the single most textually specific Olympian demonization in the New Testament.
