Шаблон:For Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox magazine Apollo (Шаблон:Lang-arz; DMG: Apūllū) was an Arabic magazine, which appeared in Egypt from 1932 to 1934.[1][2] The first issue was published in September 1932.[3] Ahmed Zaki Abu Shadi (1892-1955) was the founder of the magazine.[2] He was also the publisher of the first 25 issues and founded simultaneously the "Apollo Poet Society"[4] which was dedicated to the renewal of Arab poetry and the disposal of traditional conventions.[5]

Abu Shadi was not only a poet and author of numerous papers on politics, social reform, Islam and art but also a translator of some works by Hafez, Omar Khayyam and Shakespeare.[6] His journal became an important medium for experimental Arabic poetry outside of Egypt and was considered to be a pioneer of modern Arabic literature.[7]

After working as a publisher he went to the University of Alexandria to teach medicine and finally emigrated to New York in 1946. There he edited various Arab diaspora magazines.[8]

In 1957 another magazine entitled Shi'r was established in Beirut, Lebanon, by the Shi'r movement which was significantly affected by the poetic approach of the Apollo Poet Society and Apollo.[9]
