    Apollo’s Arrow is also the title of a non-fiction book.

    The title of the book is a reference to a mythical arrow that once belonged to the god Apollo. According to legend, the arrow was gifted by a priest to Pythagoras, allowing him to dart through space and time.

    “he will count 1969,697 measures towards the zenith.”  is a distance (Space)
    “In a 46,241,860th fraction of sidereal day,” is a duration (Time)

    Pythagoras is used to calculate the length of the 3rd side of a right triangle, when given the length of the other 2 sides.
