God on a mission? (6)

I believe the answer is:

apollo

(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "US space program" , "Greek god of light, poetry, music, healing and prophecy" , "Lad who's striking" , "Greek sungod, son of Zeus" , "handsome youth" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
