Winivere's Sunday Plan

 

Sunday is dedicated to the Sun. In Mythology, the sun god is Apollo. Apollo was the son of Zeus.

     The story behind this beautiful sculpture by Bertini began when Apollo made fun of Eros (Cupid), the son of Venus. Apollo thought Eros was a tiny and weak god. This angered Eros, so he shot Apollo with a gold-tipped arrow to make him fall in love with Daphne, a beautiful river nympth. He then turned around and shot at Daphne with a lead-tipped arrow. The lead-tipped arrow made Daphne disgusted and repulsed by Apollo. Apollo chased after Daphne, trying to win her love, but Daphne cried out to the Mother Earth for help. Mother Earth turned her into a laurel tree.  

Without knowing, I have a small statue of Daphne in my bathroom that I bought at the dollar store. She is very beautiful. I thought she was a wood nymph.
