Apollo & Daphne — Mythology Reel

Part of the ongoing mythology series. Apollo and Daphne is usually told as a love story, but it's really about pursuit, autonomy, and the cost of being desired by someone who won't take no for an answer.

The script (ChatGPT) reframes the myth through Daphne's perspective. Instead of romanticizing Apollo's obsession, the narration asks the viewer to consider what it feels like to be chased by something you never asked for. That shift in framing is what makes the reel land differently than a textbook retelling.
