Was Daphne a Saint?

Greek mythology, wasn't she?


A nymph, chaste and beautiful, daughter of the river Peneius and
Ladon, a river god. Apollo tried to seduce her, but was rejected. He
then became more forceful, and she fled, but he caught her and she
cried out to Gaea for help. The earth opened beneath her and she was
swallowed up, and a laurel tree sprang up at the spot.


Don't you hate it when that sort of thing happens when you're out on the
pull?
