Daphne
Daphne is a minor figure in Greek mythology known as a Naiad—a type of female nymph associated with fountains, wells, springs, streams, brooks and other bodies of freshwater. There are several versions of the myth, but the general narrative is that because of her beauty, Daphne attracted the attention and ardor of the god Apollo. Apollo pursued her and just before being overtaken, Daphne pleaded to her mother Gaia to be rescued. Gaia then swallowed her in the earth, and subsequently created the laurel tree tree to console Apollo's grief. The laurel is sacred symbol connected to Apollo throughout Greek myth. Pausanias identified Daphne as the daughter of the rivergod Ladon and Ge. In Metamorphoses by Roman poet Ovid, she is identified as the daughter of the rivergod Pineios in Thessaly. At the Pythian Games which were held every four years in Delphi in honour of Apollo, a wreath of laurel gathered from the Vale of Tempe in Thessaly was given as a prize. According to Pausanias the reason for this "simply and solely because the prevailing tradition has it that Apollon fell in love with the daughter of Ladon"

Ana Gomes:
The culture of impunity in Malta ... fosters corruption, organized financial criminality and state capture, and it was that culture that created the conditions for the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Matthew Caruana Galizia:
They had an image of her as a witch, someone who was subhuman or nonhuman, they were made to hate her, so, now that they're seeing a human being they just don't know what to do. I think The Daphne Project has succeeded in that objective at least, and also because the journalists are taking up her investigations, that feels like a taste of justice.
Joseph Muscat:
In the course of her work she made many enemies, whether in organized crime, business, government or among the general public, allegations of organized threats or harassment against Caruana Galizia or Caruana Galizia family are wholly false. My family and I were at the center of Daphne Caruana Galizia's politically motivated attacks, but Paul Caruana Galizia did not respond to her provocations.
