 The name of Napoleon is suggested to be similar to that of the Ancient Greek sun god Apollo - the name supposedly from the verb "apollyô" or "apoleô", "to exterminate" (the initial N in "Napoleon" could be derived from the Greek prefix "nè" or "nai", "veritable").Pérès derives the name from the event during the Trojan war when the Sun shone with unusual force, killing many of the Greek soldiers, as revenge for Agamemnon capturing Chryseis, the daughter of the priest of Apollo, Chryses.The family name "Bona parte" ("good part") could be seen as coming from a dualistic view of the good or light as one extreme, with "mala parte" ("bad part") being the opposite, darkness or hell (Pérès refers to the proclamation "abi in malam partem", made by the priest during the ritual of exorcism).
