Daphne & Apollo - Ovid's Metamorphoses | Soft Spoken Reading (ASMR Fireplace)

In a world where gods walked among rivers and forests, a young nymph named Daphne only wanted to be free, and a god's longing would change everything forever. Tonight I'm reading the myth of Daphne and Apollo, from Ovid's Metamorphoses, Book I, one of the most beautiful and enduring stories of the ancient world. A story about desire, freedom, and the strange, quiet beauty of transformation. This one is a little special to me.
