Can you please translate and answer the questions for me in Latin?

Daphne and Apollo


Daphne (nom. sing.) erat nympha silvarum. Pater (father, nom. sing.) Daphnis (gen. sing.) erat Peneus, deus rivi in Thessalia. Arbores (trees, acc. pl), flores (flowers, acc. pl.), et animalia (animals, acc. pl.) Daphne (nom. sing.) amavit. Aliam (another) vitam non laudavit. Apollo (nom. sing.) erat deus solis (sun, gen. sing.). Etiam erat deus lucis (light, gen. sing.), et lucis mentis (light of the mind). Ob hanc causam (For this reason) Graecis (Greeks, dative pl.) carus erat. Apollo erat formosus, et feminae eum (him) amabant.





Olim Apollo (nom. sing.) in silvis ambulavit et nympham pulchram spectavit. Dolo Dei Amoris (Dei Amoris, gen. = of the God of love, Cupid.), Apollo (nom. sing.) Daphnem (acc. sing.) amavit, sed Daphne (nom. sing.) Apollinem (acc. sing.) non amavit. "Puella", clamavit Apollo, "mane!" Daphne (nom. sing.) ab Apollone (abl. sing.) territa est, et currere (to run) incepit (he/she/it began). Etiam Apollo currere incepit (see previous note). Tum Daphne celeriter cucurrit (ran); et Apollo etiam! Paene eam (her, acc. sing.) cepit (caught)! Daphne, territa (terrified) suo patri (father, dat. sing.) clamavit "Pater, pater, serva me! Da mihi (me, dat. sing.) auxilium tuum!"





Pater (father, nom. sing.) Peneus suam filiam amavit, et Daphnem (acc. sing.) felicem (happy) videre amavit. Daphnem (acc.sing) in arborem (tree, acc. sing.) mutavit. Daphne (nom. sing.) nunc erat laurus (laurel, nom. sing.), et postea haec (this) arbor (tree, fem. nom. sing.) erat Apollini (dative, sacer is followed by the dative) sacra.

Can you please translate and answer the questions for me in Latin?
Are you not referring to Eros?





No they were not brother %26amp; sister


Peneus was the 'river God' therefore an aspect of 'God' in mythology.





Daphne was an nymph persued by Apollo. His affections unwanted, she bid her father to save her and was turned into a Bay Laurel Tree.





That is why the Bay Laurel became worn as a crown on the head.





Now go do the rest of the work yourself.





PS. The trick was to strike Daphne with an arrow of lead to deaden her heart and strike Apollo with a golden arrow to enflame his heart.
