In my version of the myth Daphne welcomes Apollo with his wolves and swans. Instead of transforming into a bushy, woody tree with leathery leaves and a preference to well-drained soil, she enjoys the fabulous sensual gifts he has to offer.

Yes, Apollo was lecherous but also highly gifted in complex areas such as music, medicine, archery and the wellbeing of children. His body was muscular and lean -the definition of classical male beauty- and he must have smelled pretty good too.
