Daedala to Dentil Molding Deo to Dysnomia
The huntress nymph who was determined to have no lovers and remain pure.
A young man, Leukippus (Leucippus) fell in love with her and in an effort to be close to her, disguised himself as a girl and joined Daphne and some other nymphs on a hunting expedition; while the nymphs were bathing, Leukippus was discovered to be a man and they killed him.
Daphne was later pursued by Apollon but the river god Peneus, who was perhaps her father, saved her from Apollon by turning her into a laurel tree.
