Can you explain the story of Apollo and Hyacinthus please..

Yes, I can! ⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊

Hyacinthus was a Spartan prince and he was oh so beautiful. He was adored by Apollo, Zephyrus, Boreas, & a mortal man named Thamyris but he chose Apollo over them all.

Hyacinthus was a frequent visitor to Apollos sacred lands with the god in chariot drawn by swans. Apollo, so deeply in love with Hyacinthus, abandoned his sanctuary in Delphi to stay by Hyacinthus side by the river ‘Eurotas’. While Apollo spent time with Hyacinthus he had taught the mortal man how to use a Bow and Arrow, how to play the Lyre, and the art of prophecy.

One day, while Hyacinthus and Apollo were together, Apollo was teaching Hyacinthus the game of Discus (or it was Quoits). They both decided to have a competition and started to take turns throwing the discus!

Apollo had thrown it first. His strength so mighty the discus had flown right into the sky and split the clouds in half! Happy and Excited to retrieve the discus, Hyacinthus ran behind to catch it! But when it hit the ground, the discus had bounced back up and landed a fatal blow on Hyacinthus’s head.

Apollo, worried, rushed to Hyacinthus’s aid. Holding him and going down with him. Apollo’s face was pale, watching his lover’s life now fade right in his hands. Apollo tried numerous things; to using herbs, to using ambrosia to heal the wound. It was no use, he could not heal the wound that was fated unto his lover.

Apollo wept and cried.

Apollo expressed his desire to become mortal, so he could join the spartan boy into death. Though his wishes were purely wishes due to his immortality; So Apollo promised that he would always remember and remind himself of Hyacinthus through his songs and the music of his Lyre. While holding Hyacinthus, Apollo had used the boy’s blood to create the Hyacinth flower. Carving the words of lamentation ‘Al Al’ — “alas.” on the petals . .

In some retellings; Hyacinthus comes back or Zephyrus kills Hyacinthus out of jealousy but this is the one I am more familiar with! I hope you enjoyed :) , until next time!

My day today:

1. Had a dermatologist app to figure out why my hair is falling out (didn’t make it there and lemme tell you why)

2. Ran out of gas on the highway on the way to derm app and called them saying I was gonna be late.

3. Went to get gas and the guy behind me beeped at me and got really agitated for some reason and it made me anxious.

4. Finally got to derm app but couldn’t figure out how to get in and called them telling them I was there but lost for 10 mins.

5. They said I had to reschedule for being late even though I was there when I said I would be, I was just lost.

6. Had a breakdown in the parking garage where people minded their business passing me sobbing.

7. Went to Ulta to try and make myself feel better and buy something nice.

8. The things I bought actually suck ass and I have to return them anyway.

9. Rescheduled derm app to tmr morning so hopefully that goes better.
