How’s this for a run around Greek Mythology?

Y’all know the story of love-sick Apollo’s pursuit of Daphne? And her prayer to her father to be saved from this pesky pest? And that her father turned her into a laurel tree?

I’m back with Ovid and his Metamorphoses here.

Mmmn. Girl turned into static, unspeaking tree. Roman Caesars crowned by her Laurel leaves.

Just saying :o)
