Peneus, son of the titans Oceanus and Thetis, was a river god in Greek mythology. He had a son and three daughters with the nymph Creusa.
When Eros, god of passionate love, became angry with Apollo for having mocked about his skill with the bow, he shot an arrow to make him fall in love with Daphne, one of Peneus' daughters, knowing in advance that she would reject him.
When Daphne saw that Apollo was about to reach her, she asked her father for help and he turned her into a laurel tree. For Apollo, that tree was sacred.
