Answer: The theme of transformation pops up in two major ways in the story of "Apollo and Daphne." We'll go with the glaringly obvious one first: at the end of the story, Daphne's father transforms the young nymph into a laurel tree. Why a tree? Hmmm, well we guess it's better than a rock or something

Daphne was a Naiad Nymph in Greek Mythology, and was the daughter of a river god. She was famous for being incredibly beautiful and for catching the eye of Apollo. In retaliation, Eros fired two arrows: a gold arrow that struck Apollo and made him fall in love with Daphne, and a lead arrow that made Daphne hate Apollo
