The Greek Gods ES

Apollo comes off to me as brave and hero-like at first because he kills the serpent with his arrow. He seems to get a little too big-headed for himself and gloats about how he did this. Next, he gets into a situation with Cupid and brags to him about his arrow skill. Cupid really had enough of it and shot two arrows out, one that had super passionate love and the other that completely rejected it. Of course, Apollo was love-struck and Daphne ran from it. Daphne, a nymph, wanted no part of love when she was shot with the arrow, but Apollo craved her. He went to a point of telling her how much he loves her while chasing her. Daphne ran with fear and then finally ran out of energy to run away. She called out to her father to help her not be raped by Apollo. She then turns into a tree and Apollo catches up. He still feels the love with her and claims the tree as his. Apollo got the short end of the stick here just because he was arrogant and cocky. If he just stayed in his lane, the whole thing with Cupid may have not happened.
