In Ovid’s “Metamorphoses: Apollo and Daphne”, Apollo is punished by Cupid to forever chase and love Daphne, the daughter of the river god Peneus. Cupid may have had his reasons for punishing Apollo, but no reason was shown to why Cupid shot Daphne with an arrow, which I consider a punishment as she was always fleeing and avoiding Apollo until she later prayed to her father to destroy her beauty and she transformed into a tree for eternity.
