Daphne & Apollo

Daphne was Apollo's first love.
She was an independent-minded, young huntress.
Her father, the river god wished her to marry and have children, but all Daphne wanted was to hunt alone in the deep woods, rejoicing in her freedom.
One day Apollo saw her. She was hunting, her dress short to the knee, her arms bare, her hair in disarray. She was enchantingly beautiful.
Inflamed with desire, he started running after the nymph. Daphne fled, she was amazingly swift. Apollo was hard put to overtake her, although he grew steadily closer.
Daphne knew she could never outrun Apollo, but she was determined to resist to the end. She could almost feel Apollo's breath on the back of her neck when she saw her father's river ahead of her.
She screamed to him, "Help me father, help me." At these words a dragging numbness came over her, and her feet seemed rooted in the earth. Bark was enclosing her body, and leaves were sprouting from her arms. She had been changed into a laurel tree.
