Daphne is a nymph in Greek mythology, personified as the laurel tree. She is said to be the daughter of a river god in Arcadia or Thessaly. One day, Apollo made love to her, but she hated this and ran away. When she called for help while being pursued, her father (or Zeus) transformed Daphne, who was about to be captured by Apollo, into a laurel tree. This tree became Apollo's tree. According to a legend in the Peloponnesus, Leucippus, who fell in love with Daphne, disguised himself as a woman to get closer to her and join her on the hunt. However, jealous Apollo made them bathe, and Leucippus' disguise was immediately discovered, and he was killed by Daphne with a hunting spear.

ギリシア神話のニンフで月桂樹(げっけいじゅ)の擬人化。アルカディアまたはテッサリアの河神の娘とされる。あるとき彼女はアポロンに恋をしかけられたが、これを嫌って逃げた。追われながら助けを求めると、父(またはゼウス)が、アポロンに捕まえられようとするダフネを月桂樹に変えたという。この木はアポロンの木となった。またペロポネソス地方の伝承によれば、ダフネに恋をしたレウキッポスは女装して彼女に近づこうとし、彼女の狩りの仲間に入ることができた。しかし嫉妬(しっと)したアポロンが彼女たちに水浴をさせたため、レウキッポスの女装はたちまち見破られて、彼はダフネに狩りの槍(やり)で殺されたという。 [伊藤照夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
