   Daphne
   a nymph and the daughter of the shape shifting river god Peneus; according to the Greek myth of Daphne, Apollo teased young Eros about his abilities as an archer, claiming that no one so small could make a difference with his arrows; Eros grew angry at this insult and shot two arrows from his bow, one at Apollo and one that happened to hit Daphne; the arrow that struck Apollo was tipped with gold, which caused him to wildly lust after Daphne; the arrow that struck Daphne was blunt and lead tipped, which caused her to have no desire to love anyone; Apollo chased Daphne wanting her to love him, but she ran from him; she knew she would grow tired and Apollo would catch her so she called for her father to help and he transformed his daughter into a laurel tree; Apollo still loved Daphne and claimed the tree as his own wearing its leaves in her memory; the laurel tree is a symbol of Apollo.
