Greek Mythology: Apollo and Hyacinth - A Story about Jealousy

#GreekMythology #Mythology #SeeUinHistory #History #MythologyExplained

wiki: Hyacinth is a divine hero from Greek mythology. His cult at Amyclae southwest of Sparta dates from the Mycenaean era. A temenos or sanctuary grew up around what was alleged to be his burial mound, which was located in the Classical period at the feet of Apollo's statue. The literary myths serve to link him to local cults, and to identify him with Apollo.

Moral of the story:

Don't play frisbee

[jesso.]

Time and time again Apollo was so unlucky in love :(
Then again, he was symbolic of the sun and light so perhaps it may have meant to symbolize that he (as the sun) could or should not devote himself to just one being. Imagine if the sun just shined for 1 person. That person would die and so would we from lack of light.

This is my favorite Greek mythology. Hyacinthus may have just lost his life but he will never lose Apollo's love. I love how Apollo's undying love turned him into something immortal and beautiful.

Ironically, what are known today as modern day hyacinths aren’t actually the hyacinth in the myth. It’s myth is actually believed to be an iris or a larkspur. But thank you for telling this myth, it’s one of my favorites. Poor hyacinth. Apollo’s only true love.

It's just sad that the only people who reciprocated Apollo's love were of the same gender and yet they died. On the other hand, females that he loved didn't even want him. I mean give that God a happy love life.

"In tribute to his friend"

Historians: OMG, THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS!

[sir.mclovin]

Me : Mista Apollo, why are you gay ?
Apollo: who said I was Gay ?
Me : You are GAY!?

[amethystsavage]

Therapist: And did that solve anything, Zephyrus? Why don’t we take the weekend to reflect how you could’ve approached that better.

Fun Fact: homosexuality was the norm during ancient Greece and was practiced to train young boys to become responsible men. Apollo is not the only deity who has homosexual relationships.

It's still a better love story than Twilight though...
