And Apollo has never raped anyone. He's chased people yes,obsessed over nymphs and mortals alike, but never actually had any non-consented sex.

I'm not going to argue because I can't remember every myth off of my head so I'll go with you on Apollo. moving on though an out of universe answer is because she is a wild a goddess. if you check my previous post it's something she's supposed to represent. everything else is a 'justification' for her continued actions. I don't think there was ever an incident in her early years to warrant it other than my out of universe answer of what she represented to the greeks in the first place.
