Greek mythology

Eurydice was a dryad, a nymph of trees, especially of oaks. She lived in Thrace in love with Orpheus.

On her wedding day, Aristeo --a rival pastor from Orpheus-- tried to kidnap her. She managed to get rid of him, but during the escape she accidentally stepped on a poisonous snake, which fatally bit her foot.

Desperated, Orpheus decided to descend into the underground world to search for her. Thanks to his charm with the lyre, he got Charon to take him in his boat to the other shore of the Styx lagoon, that the Cerberus guardian opened the doors of the underworld to him, and also that Hades allowed him to take his beloved back.

Peneus, official name of the satellite of the asteroid (41) Daphne

The satellite of the asteroid (41) Daphne was discovered in March 2008 and oficially named Peneus in March 2019.

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.
