    Phoebus Apollo fell in love with Daphne, the daughter of the river god Peneus. However, his love was not given by chance, but rather by the cruel wrath of Cupid. Apollo had recently defeated a serpent and mocked Cupid for bending his bow, not knowing the god of love's power. Cupid took revenge by making Apollo fall in love with the unwilling Daphne.
