" The white marble has to assume the likeness of a person, it has to have color, spirit and life. "

- Gian Lorenzo Bernini

Apollo and Daphne (1625) by Bernini. Bernini was 24 when he started it for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who commissioned it.

Apollo and Daphne, Armand Point, 1919.

[bugwolfsstuff]

Does Cupid shooting Apollo with a love arrow and Daphne with a hate arrow in the myth (that i'm displeased to find out is Ovid's version) not make Apollo also kinda a victim too?

one shaft that rouses love and one that routs it. The first gleams bright with piercing point of gold; the other, cull and blunt is tipped with lead. This one he lodged in Nympha Peneis' [Daphne's] heart; the first he shot to pierce Apollo to the marrow. At once he loves; she flies the name of love, delighting in the forest's depths, and trophies of the chase, a Nympha to vie with heaven's virgin huntress Phoebe [Artemis];

.............

...............

And Venus' [Aphrodite's] son [Eros] replied : ‘Your bow, Phoebus, may vanquish all, but mine shall vanquish you. As every creature yields to power divine, so likewise shall your glory yield to mine.’

—Ovid, Metamorphoses 

Like...does that not mean Cupid's arrows overide all other feelings and therefore make Apollo an unwilling participant here?

Not to say Daphne also wasnt a victim, she definetly was but it seems it was non-consensual for both parties?

I'm really addicted to Greek mythology because of the musical Epic and I made a comic of Apollo and Daphne with Calypso music.

Eu ando muito viciada em mitologia grega por causa do musical Épic e fiz uma comic do Apollo e da Dafne com a musica da Calypso

For me, this song really fits this story and I ended up having inspiration to draw this

Pra mim essa música super combina com essa história e acabei tendo inspiração pra desenhar isso

My Apollo design/Meu desing do Apollo:

The scarf is inspired by Neal Illustrator's Apollo, but the rest I based on a statue of him

O cachecol é inspirado no Apollo da Neal Illustrator, mas o resto eu me baseie em uma estátua dele

Eu amo o Apollo e suas histórias trágicas

I love Apollo and his tragic stories

I drew other characters from mythology too and maybe I'll bring them here to share my new musical addiction :D a kiss and see you next time My Black Diamonds

Eu desenhei outros personagens da mitologia também e talvez eu traga aqui pra compartilhar meu novo vício musical :D um beijo e até a próxima My Black Diamonds

Greek myths be like :

Many people turnd or were turned into flowers or trees . Its a pattern .

[femme-plant-mom]

Imagine if children of Apollo are afraid they will lose their loves like their father lost his. They grew up with stories of Hyacinthus, Daphne, Icarus, and so many others. What if they spend the whole course of relationships waiting for the tragic end?

At this point I understand the Greek mythology obsession with being turned into a tree. I’m so done. Seriously someone just turn me into a tree please.
