Very surprised to see you guys finally mentioning Vietnamese mythology. I think I vaguely heard this story when I was younger. We do have another sad myth similar to this, only it involved two siblings: the myth tells a brother trying to carve a toy with a knife for his sister, but there was an accident and the knife embedded itself in the girl's head. Fearing that he had accidentally killed his little sister, he ran away only to return many years later, got married and have a child. But upon combing his wife's hair one day, he noticed that she has a scar on her head. He asked her how she got the scar and she told him that it was from an accident when she was a child when her brother was trying to make her a toy. To his horror, the man married his sister and was so ashamed that he ran away again. Unaware that her husband is actually her long, lost brother, the wife waited at a cliff everyday with her baby in her arms for him to return. She waited so long that both she and the baby turned into a stone statue. A symbol of tragic love and devotion.

I don't want to laugh about the story you told us about Daphne and Apollo, but I'm trying my best to resist the urge to laugh. But is it okay if I laugh out loud?

Could the rock have been salt? You are saying he ate some, but I think it might be rock salt. Salt is also a symbol of life and cleanliness for a lot of cultures: )

Great episode, except there was one big, glaring, unforgivable mistake.
Daphne turns into a Yanny tree. Not a laurel tree.
