Is it just me, or does this page look somewhat ugly (formatting wise)? ugen64 02:36, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)
Is that any better? The pic is too big for the amount of text, though. RickK 03:08, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I think Chloe (which does not figure as yet in the wikipedia) should be mentioned here
I thought Daphne was a dryad as opposed to a nymph.
I read that Daphne prayed to Artemis, and it was she who turned her into a laurel.Boipussi 20:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I just want to know why somebody would care so much about the formatting of a page??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.179.136.43 (talk) 03:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

This page reads like an academic paper, not a wiki article. The basic plot points of the myth are buried in didactic analysis and pointless commentary:
"Why should she wish to escape? Because she is Artemis Daphnaia, the god's sister," observed the Freudian anthropologist Géza Róheim - who cares???
I agree. "Why should she wish to escape?" Because she doesn't want to be raped. If you ignore all the mythological trappings, this is basically a story of attempted rape. --50.180.19.238 (talk) 11:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Much of this article is badly-written. What is “part of the archaic adjustment of religious cult in Greece, was given an arch anecdotal turn in the Metamorphoses” supposed to mean? --Dour (talk) 14:37, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
This page does a better job of covering the myth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_and_Daphne_(Bernini) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.223.80 (talk) 05:05, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to include
as an additional illustration of the myth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.87.129.242 (talk) 22:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
Should "Mythological rape victims" category be removed? A "mythological sexual assault victims" category would be more accurate if it existed. I think the current one is a bit misleading, plus many other SA victims from myth don't have it. Deiadameian (talk) 10:55, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
