Apollo and Daphne
This story is based on the long mythological satirical poem "Metamorphosis" by Ovid of ancient Rome
One of Apollo's great achievements was that he shot the python Pitong who persecuted his mother, so he got the title of the Great God of the Silver Bow. When he saw Cupid, the little god of love who also held a bow and arrow, he rudely warned Cupid, saying: "Bows and arrows are very dangerous things, and children should not play with them." (Some books also said that Apollo laughed at Cupid, saying: "My bow and arrow can shoot big snakes, what can your bow and arrow do?")
Cupid was very unconvinced by what Apollo said, so he secretly followed Apollo. When Apollo came to Daphne, the daughter of the river god Peneos, Cupid shot the lead arrow of disgust at Daphne. Daphne, who was shot, immediately became very disgusted with love. Then he shot a golden arrow of love to Apollo. Apollo immediately fell in love with Daphne. Daphne hated love and hurried to escape from Apollo's pursuit. In order to escape from Apollo, Daphne asked his father, the river god Pernius, to turn himself into a laurel tree.
To commemorate Daphne, Apollo took the laurel tree as his sacred tree, and from then on, the appearance of wearing a laurel crown became the symbol image of Apollo.

The initial love
What is love? Different opinions between people. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that love was a feeling or pure wildness, devoid of spirit, centered around a person's external beauty, happiness, and ultimate goal of reproduction.
The Transformation of Love
In the Middle Ages, the idea of "love" aimed at happiness, beauty, and fertility changed, and many legends have elevated the status of women. At this time, love referred to the so-called romantic love, generally referring to narrow love; Platonic love is believed to be pure love, and not pursuing physical pleasure is a misconception. It is no longer as primitive as in ancient times.
