Hyacinthos -birth of a flower

Hyacinth A beautiful young man from Sparta whom Apollo loved. Apollo accidentally killed him while teaching him how to throw a discus, and turned Hyacinth’s blood into a flower. According to another version, it was the wind god Zephyrus who caused the discus to kill Hyacinth by blowing the wind in that direction, because he was also in love with Hyacinth and jealous of Apollo. https://www.antikensgrekland.se/mitol...
