Finally got around to coloring this piece. Hyacinthus/Hyakinthos’ ascension to godhood.
Did you know that different hyacinth colors have different meanings?
-Yellow hyacinths mean jealously(never a good idea to gift to people. It would be insulting to them)
-Purple hyacinths mean forgiveness and sorrow
-Blue hyacinths mean sincerity, loyalty, and fidelity
-Pink hyacinths are playful joy
-White hyacinths are for deep thoughts of other people in its purest form
-Red hyacinths mean playful, light, platonic love(even though red flowers usually represent romantic or passionate love, hyacinths are a bit different, though red hyacinths can still mean romance and passion)
Hail Hyakinthos!

"He sought every remedy, he had recourse to cunning arts, he anointed all the wound, anointed it with ambrosia and with nectar; but all remedies are powerless to heal the wounds of Fate."
FUCK, this quote from Greek mythology goes hard

Hyacinthos wanted that vitamin D, but all he got was vitamin Dead.

It is once again the Hyakinthia, when we mourn the death of Spartan Prince Hyakinthos/Hyacinthus with Lord Apollo and celebrate his rebirth and renewal around this time.
I may create another piece celebrating Hyacinthus’ ascension to godhood if I get the time.
Blessed Hyakinthia! Hail Apollo and Hyakinthos!

"Thamyris, son of Philammon and the Nymph Argiope, the first male to love other males, fell in love with Hyacinthos. Later on Apollo, who also loved him, accidentally killed him with a discus."
I just fucking can't get over this
something about this just lives rent free in my mind

Hermes: Apollo, why are you so depressed?
Apollo: I'm never gonna date anyone
Hermes: Oh, still upset over the whole Daphne thing?
Apollo: Nah, over that. Remember that hot spartan guy.
Hermes: Yes... let me guess, he's dead?
Apollo: Very dead.
-Translation of Lucian, only slightly paraphrased by me
