Abstract
This paper sets out to explore a well-known myth from the ancient world, that of Apollo and Daphne. Specifically, after a brief introduction concerning the literary sources of the myth, the focus is on the Pompeian pictorial production of this theme. The paintings are analysed, dwelling in particular on the manner in which the nymph’s ‘capture’ is depicted, which, in some specific cases, seems to suggest an approach that is not totally hostile towards Apollo.
