Apollo, the god of archery, was making fun of Eros, aka cupid, because Eros' arrows didn't have any real power to them according to Apollo. So Eros like most people would took offense to Apollo's harsh words and took offense against Apollo (see how I used the same word but in two different meanings... you';re welcome). Eros had tow arrows, one of love and one of hate. He shot Apollo with the love arrow and Daphne, some nymph, a daughter of Poseidon, with the hate arrow. Due to the effects of the arrows, Apollo chased after Daphne and Daphne thusly ran away from Apollo. Daphne getting tired of that game of cat-and-mouse asked her father to save her. He changed into a tree, and Apollo took the leaves and branches off of her tree and made them into a wreath and wore it forever.
Eternal youth, sounds fun and boring. You would always be youthful, full of energy, wanting to turn up, happiness, enjoyment, make bad decisions, and lots of other stuff young adults do. But there would also be a lot of sorrow and pain. You have to experience a lot of people come and go and that could be very tolling on the mind, body, and soul. So I wouldn't mind eternal youth, but when it is time to go I would like to be able to gggggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooo......................
