Apollo and Daphne from Ovid

The story of Apollo and Daphne tells the story of how Apollo is in love with Daphne. Apollo, in the beginning of the story, talks to Eros and sees his love arrows. He is struck with the love arrow and begins falling in love with Daphne. Daphne begins to flee, but Apollo becomes more in love with her. Apollo gets impatient and begins chasing her down. Once Apollo catches her, Daphne turns into a tree. Apollo stills embraces the tree and makes its a sacred tree. He makes it his tree. The theme of this book as well as all the other books in metamorphases is about transformation.
