She is pierced by a lead arrow thus induced to recoil from him. As he pursues her, she flees, calling on her father, the river god Peneus, to save her. At the moment he reaches her, she is transformed into a laurel tree. Apollo, grieving yet devoted, claims the laurel as his sacred tree and symbol forever its decoration adorning athletes and artists forever more.
