All of this seems to be a ploy to comically provide the intro for what can be best described as chaos. Book I begins with the story of Daphne and Apollo. We see the first element of transformation with Cupid. Cupid is the naughty son of Venus, who possesses arrows that…

The sick often look up to the person who can heal and that is who Apollo is, a healer. Apollo has a twin…
