Apollo and Daphne (2) |
|
| |
阿波羅與達芬妮 (2) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Because of Cupid's arrow, Daphne rejected love completely and refused all suitors. She was only interested in running around in the woods and never thought of marriage. |
|
| |
Although Daphne wanted nothing to do with Apollo, he was still affected by Cupid's arrow and chased after her. "Slow down!" he called. "I am not the enemy. I am in love with you!" However, like a rabbit fleeing a wolf, she always kept one step ahead of him. To her, love and marriage were like punishments. After a while, though, Daphne grew tired and could run no more. "Oh, Father, help me change my form!" she called out to Peneus as Apollo gained on her. |
|
| |
All of a sudden, Daphne's feet became rooted to the ground, and her body turned into the trunk of a laurel tree. Her arms became its branches, and her hair became the leaves. Apollo finally stood before her, touched her bark, and kissed her leaves. "Since you cannot be my wife, you shall always be my tree." He said. "I will wear you for my crown, and your leaves will be woven into wreaths for triumphant Romans." To this day, the laurel wreath remains a symbol of the highest honor and victory. |

因為邱比特的箭，達芬妮完全抗拒戀愛，也回絕了所有的追求者。她只想要在林間裡奔跑，一點都不想結婚。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
雖然達芬妮不想和阿波羅有任何瓜葛，阿波羅卻仍繼續受到邱比特的箭所影響，對達芬妮窮追不捨。他大喊：「慢下來吧！我不是妳的敵人，我愛上了妳！」但是達芬妮就像兔子逃離野狼追趕一樣，總是比阿波羅快一步。對她來說，愛情和婚姻就像懲罰一般。不過過了一陣子，達芬妮累了，跑不動了。在阿波羅追上她時，她呼求潘尼斯的幫助：「喔，父親，請幫我改變我的外形吧！」 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
突然之間，達芬妮的雙腳扎根到地上，她的身體變成了一棵月桂樹的樹幹。她的手臂變成了樹枝，頭髮變成了樹葉。最後阿波羅站在她面前，撫摸著她的樹皮，並親吻樹葉。阿波羅說：「既然妳不能成為我的妻子，妳將永遠是我的象徵樹。我會戴著妳的樹葉做成的冠冕，妳的葉子會被編成花冠，送給勝利的羅馬人。」直到今日，月桂葉花冠仍舊是最高榮譽與勝利的象徵。 |
