Myths 6 ♥♠

I read the first myths that base themselves on prohibited love and the one I most enjoyed was Apollo and Daphne. The way Apollo thinks he is unvincible and insults a smaller and physically weaker being who has a greater power than him and can make him loose his mind.

I find it so peculiar and interesting the way Cupid act so calm and sweet, like a child and then attacks Apollo back because of the insults not physicaly but mentally and crushing his heart to shreds. When Cupid sends his arrow to Apollo, he intends for Apollo to fall in love and not be conressponded to prove his supperiority to his family member as I found out after creating the god's family tree but anyway, when he, Cupid, sends an arrow to Apollo's beloved so she would reject Apollo I interpret this as the strenght of the small.

It is the law of life in a sentence, survival of the fittess. But in this story you can see that they fittess won't always be the one you expect. In the animal kingdom, the lion is thought to be the king of the jungle but the mouse in common folk tales saves the lion from its undefiable death. Yet, what if the mouse doesn't want to save the lion and preffers to run off?

Life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get..
