The only reminder of this unfortunate episode was a young son of Apollo and Coronis, Æsculapius (Asklepios), who was carefully instructed by Apollo in the healing art. […] None had dared approach the monster; but Apollo fearlessly drew near, and slew him with his golden shafts The victory over the terrible Python won for Apollo the surname of Pytheus (the Slayer), by which appellation he was frequently invoked. […] This story of Apollo and Daphne was an illustration of the effect produced by the sun (Apollo) upon the dew (Daphne). […] Apollo addressed him graciously, called him his son, and bade him speak without fear. […] He also disputed the sovereignty of Trœzene with Minerva, and that of Corinth with Apollo.
