Apollo leaves the temple of Themis to kill the Python snake, when he meets Eros (cupid), son of Venus (goddess of love) whom he mocks.
You think you're better than me...
Yes, my power is much greater than yours.
Cupid, against Apollo's words, shoots a golden arrow straight into his heart. He falls in love with Dafne (a nymph) who was passing by. However, she shot the nymph with a lead arrow so that she would hate Apollo.
For making fun of me, she will never love you.
Dafne my nymph, I LOVE you
let me go, I hate you
Apollo chases Dafne through the forest, while she desperately flees until she reaches her father, the river, to ask for help.
My nymph, why do you run away? I love you
Father river HELP ME…
Daphne began to turn into a laurel tree, her smooth skin turning into a hard trunk. Apollo clings to her waist as the nymph turns into a tree. Meanwhile, he told her that he loved her and she kept rejecting him. Daphne began to turn into a laurel tree, her smooth skin turning into a hard trunk.

Why are you doing this to me? together we would be very happy
I HATE you and this is the only way for you to forget me
When Daphne became a tree, Apollo cries because he loves her, but he knows that she will never be with him again, only in the form of a tree.
From now on, you will be my consecrated tree and all the winners of the game will wear a laurel crown.
