He was infatuated with her, mainly because she reminded him of Daphne, but when he met her at camp, he fell in love with everything about her. He asked his uncle Poseidon and his father Zeus for permission to marry her, but they denied his claim, saying that she was far to important to the war (The Uprise of Kronos) to be distracted with a relationship. Apollo made a deal with Aphrodite, in exchange for giving her a daughter that she would deem perfect above her others, she would seduce Poseidon and Zeus into allowing Apollo to marry Rhea. Zeus and Poseidon (after each enjoying a night of Aphrodite's company) told Apollo that he could have Rhea's hand only if she vowed to become his wife and become immortal.
