Sun goddess joke

Apollo, the sun god, and themis, the moon god, are the sons of Zeus and Leto, the Titan god. When they were about to be born, Hera forbade the land to give birth to Leto. So Zeus ordered the sea to rise to Ross Island, and Leto gave birth to a pair of children in this life: the sun god and the moon god.

The sun god is also the god of prophecy. He declared Zeus' will to mortals, and Delphi was his most famous god. Luna is also the goddess of hunting, whose image is wearing a hunting suit and holding an arrow barrel, standing next to the god beast Red Deer.

Daphne

Apollo fell in love with Daphne, the beautiful daughter of the river god. He followed her everywhere, but she tried to avoid it. Once Apollo chased Daphne. When he tried to catch up, Daphne shouted, "Ah! Mother Earth, help me! " As soon as she finished speaking, a strange scene happened: her legs stood upright and could not move, and a layer of gray bark appeared on her body, her hair became leaves, her arms became branches, her feet grew roots and her head became treetops. When Apollo arrived, he could only catch a smooth laurel trunk, but he felt Daphne's heart was still pounding.

In order to express his love, Apollo picked some branches and leaves of laurel trees and made a corolla to wear on his head as a memorial to Daphne. The word "Poet Laureate" mentioned by later generations comes from this story.
