The latest stories and legends of hyacinth

Yacintos is the son of Muse Cleo and King Pieros of Macedonia. he is a beautiful young man loved by Apollo. In Greek mythology, Yacintos was accidentally injured and died when Apollo threw a discus. According to legend, in the blood pool of Yacintos, a beautiful flower grows, named after him, called hyacinth. Let's take a look at the tale of hyacinth.

Legend has it that Yacintos, a handsome young man, is good friends with Apollo, the sun god, and Jeffries, the god of the west wind, likes Yacintos very much and is often jealous of it, but Yacintos always likes Apollo and often plays with him. One day, when they were happily throwing discus on the prairie, they happened to be found by Jeffries, who was hiding in the bushes. He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to play a trick on them.

When Apollo threw the discus at Yacintos, the jealous god of the west wind secretly blew the heavy discus on his forehead, bleeding like columns for a moment, and the handsome boy died. While Apollo was alarmed, he picked up his dead friend with heartache. "Oh!" Alas! " Sighing, he saw blood gushing from Yacintos's wound, falling to the ground and flowing into the grass.

Soon after, there was a string of purple flowers in the grass. Apollo apologized by taking the name of the beautiful boy as the flower name, and we literally translated it as "hyacinth". From then on, the purple hyacinth was regarded as the spokesman of "jealousy". The Greek word Ai is synonymous with Aei (meaning "forever"), so hyacinth also symbolizes "everlasting remembrance". Europeans and Americans often carve hyacinth patterns on the tombstones of their relatives to show "everlasting remembrance".
