Apollo is the Greek name for the Semitic Baal, false god of the earth, known as Hubal to the Arabs, the moon god.

“Apollo is the Greek name for the Semitic Baal, false god of the earth, known as Hubal to the Arabs, the moon god.”

What’s your source for that? Usually Apollo is thought to be derived from a Hittite or Minoan deity. And Apollo is always connected with the sun rather than the moon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo#Sun

Apollo was the sun god.

It's not likely he was also a moon god.
