Daphne was Apollo's first love. It was not brought about by accident, but by the malice of Eros( Cupid) One day, Apollo saw the boy playing with his bow and arrows; and being himself elated with his recent victory over Python, he said to him, What have you to do with warlike weapons, saucy boy?

Apollo loved her, and longed to obtain her; and he who gives oracles to all the world was not wise enough to look into his own fortunes.
