Parthenius' tale was known to [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], who recounted it in his ''Description of Greece'' (2nd century AD). According to him, Leucippus was a son of the prince of [[Pisa, Greece|Pisa]], whose attempts to woo her by open courtship all failed, as Daphne avoided all males.<ref>Pausanias, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.20.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=:chapter=&highlight=Daphne 8.20.2]</ref> Leucippus then thought of the following trick; he grew his hair and wore women's clothes, and this way managed to get close to Daphne, to whom he introduced himself as a daughter of the prince. As he was the highest-ranking and best huntsman of Daphne's company, he became good friends with her.<ref>Pausanias, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.20.3&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=:chapter=&highlight=Daphne 8.20.3]</ref> [[Apollo]], himself in love with Daphne too,<ref>Pausanias, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+10.7.8&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=:chapter=&highlight=Ladon 10.7.8]</ref> was jealous of Leucippus' success in love, however Leucippus' ruse was soon discovered when the girls took a bath in a lake; they stripped a reluctant Leucippus naked, and upon discovering his true sex, killed him with javelins and daggers.<ref>Pausanias, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.20.4&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=:chapter=&highlight=Daphne 8.20.4]</ref>
