Apollo and hyacinthus
Lovers… Apollo left Delphi to be with
Hyacinthus and joined him in Sparta, near the Eurotas River.
This Is Sparta…(sorry)
When I’m With You… Apollo didn’t act as a god when he
was with Hyacinthus. “Quiver and lyre were nothing to him
there…” He did work like carrying nets and
leashing dogs. He probably got new callouses.
Hanging out…
Let’s Get Naked And… One day at noon, the couple
decided to rub oil on themselves and throw the discus around.
Oops… Apollo goes first and
underestimates his godliness Hyacinthus, eager for his turn,
races to catch the thrown disc. He fails.
The Disc Bounces… Death ensues
I Will Remember You… Apollo vows never to forget
Hyacinthus A new flower blooms: the hyacinth
Marked with the words “Ai, Ai”, Greek for “Alas”
Hyacinth
The Beat Goes On… Spartan men kept his memory by
honoring him during a three day festival called the Hyakinthaea Festival One day to remember his death, and
two days to celebrate his ressurection as a flower.
