*WHO MOURNS FOR ADONAIS?*



The Enterprise is intercepted by a super powerful being - the last of his race, who visited and lived on the Earth during the peak of Greek Civilization. Worshipped as gods, this particular individual was known as the Greek god "Apollo".

Following a plot inspired by Greek tragedies, Apollo falls for a female crewmember and ends his existence after realizing that human beings no longer need gods.

(And the female, Lieutenant Carolyn Palamas, was played by Leslie Parrish - )



Production note: Jon Voight was considered for the role of Apollo.

The role instead went to Michael Forest, a veteran television actor.
