Ovid - Apollo and Daphne - Coggle Diagram
Ovid - Apollo and Daphne
After Apollo killed Python, he boasts and mocks Cupid for his inferior skill and feats with the bow
Out of respite, Cupid uses his bow to make Apollo fall in love with Daphne, and to ensure that Daphne cannot fall in love with Apollo
Uses arrow of love on Apollo, and arrow of Antelope on Daphne
Daphne
Daughter of Peneus, river god
Delighted in the forest, uninterested in suitors or marrying
Asks Peneus to allow her to not marry, as Zeus allowed Diana
Compared to Diana, goddess of the forest
Perhaps alluding to a common theme of the text, that humans who get too close to gods or try to become or imitate gods are punished
-
Portrayed as innocent, Damsel in distress, and a victim
-
Daphne flees Apollo through the forest, and he gives chase
Calls to her to stop, telling her of his feats and accolades
Begs her father to save her from Apollo, Peneus turns her into a tree just as Apollo catches her

-
Apollo states that she will become his tree, the laurel tree, and be a sign of victory and triumph, slightly strangely, as this is certainly a defeat for the God
