The legend of hyacinth

Legend 1

There is a legend in ancient Greek mythology: Hyacinthus (also translated as Asyntes), the grandson of Zeus, is the Greek god of plants and a handsome young man.

Apollo, the sun god, and Zephyrus, the west wind god, were both very good friends with him, but Hyacinthus was only close to Apollo. They went fishing, hunting, and engaged in various sports activities together, which made Zephyrus very jealous.

Once Apollo and Hyacinthus were throwing the discus together, and Apollo threw first.

The West Wind took the opportunity to change the trajectory of the discus and blew it towards Hyacinthus, breaking his forehead.

Apollo tried everything to save Hyacinthus' life, but to no avail. Hyacinthus' blood slowly flowed to the ground, and a beautiful flower grew in the place stained with blood. The sun god named it Hyacinthus to commemorate his friend.

Therefore, Westerners usually carve hyacinth patterns on the tombstones of their loved ones to express their "eternal remembrance."

Legend II

It is also a legend about the European Greek gods. Legend has it that Apollo fell in love with Hyacinthus, which aroused the jealousy of Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. Zephyrus turned them into hyacinths.

From then on, hyacinth became a symbol of chastity between lovers, representing "firmness and gaze".

In the UK, blue hyacinths also appear as brides' bouquets at weddings, foreshadowing a happy life for the newlyweds.
