DAPHNE AND APOLLON





APOLLON AND DAPHNE MYTHS
Apollon was a very good archer and he loved to praise himself. One day he came across Eros , the son of Aphrodit and made fun  of his archery and said to him, "You cannot be as a good archer as I am. You should leave war-like weapons to gods like me".
Eros got very angry and said to him "Your arrows may strike all things, Apollo, but mine shall strike you." He decided to take revenge of these words. He took  two arrows, one of gold and one of lead. The golden one was to make people fall in love and the other was to make people hate.  Eros shot Apollon with the golden one and Daphne, the daughter of Peneus with the lead one.
And Apollo fell in love with Daphne and loved noone else as he loved her. But Daphne had the lead arrow so she never loved someone or wanted to marry. Her father often said to her, ‘Daughter you owe me a son.’ but she begged her father to respect her decision and remain unmarried. She was so beautiful that her father warned her saying
Your face will not allow it.’’


Apollo was in love with Daphne and one day he saw her in the woods and wanted to talk with her. But when Daphne saw him, she started to run. Apollo was behind chasing her. When she understood that he would catch her, she called her father and wanted help.
She said ’Peneus open the earth to hide me or change my form.’ Then she started to turn into a laurel tree. Her body was covered with bark, she rooted into the ground and  her hair turned into the leaves. Apollo was just watching how her ladylove was turning into a tree. He was upset.
He promised that he would never forget Daphne and he made the laurel his sacred tree. He said that he would  wear a crown of laurel on his head and swore to the laurel tree that it would  always stay green and never rot. Then the laurel tree bowed its head in gratitude.
