hyakintos hluboky talirHyakinthos was a mortal Spartan prince who charmed the gods with his selfless beauty. Passionately in love with Apollo, the sun god, he spent his days relaxing in the grass, listening to music and competing in friendly sports. One day they decided together to have a friendly discus throwing competition. Apollo threw first and had such power that the discus split the clouds in the sky. Hyakinthos, eager to get the disc back, ran after it to catch it.

Hyakinthos was a mortal Spartan prince who charmed the gods with his selfless beauty. Passionately in love with Apollo, the sun god, he spent his days relaxing in the grass, listening to music and competing in friendly sports. One day they decided together to have a friendly discus throwing competition. Apollo threw first and had such power that the discus split the clouds in the sky. Hyakinthos, eager to get the disc back, ran after it to catch it. However, as he approached, the disk hit the ground and bounced back, striking Hyakinth's head and mortally wounding him. Apollo paled as he held his dying lover in his arms. He tried to save him with all kinds of herbs and even tried to give him ambrosia - the food of the Olympian gods - to heal Hyacinth's wound, but it was in vain. He could no longer heal the wound caused by fate. Apollo wept over Hyacinth's death and wished to become mortal so he could join the Spartan boy in the afterlife. But since this was impossible due to his immortality, he promised to remember him forever. Therefore, he turned Hyacinth's spilled blood into a flower - Hyacinth, so that he could be forever admired for his undying beauty. The hyacinth flower held by Apollo's hand symbolizes their last moment together in each other's arms. In the upside-down view, the flower and the stem with the flourishing hand take on the impression of a Spartan helmet and spear, which shows the noble origin of the prince. At first glance, we also recognize here something that looks like raindrops, but upon closer inspection, Apollo's tears are revealed. On the left side is then the disk that sits on Hyakinth's head, thus closing the circle of the story of eternal love and the memory of her, despite the pain of great loss. This plate is part of the Metamorphoses Collection. Shop the other styles: Adonis , Phaeton , or Deucalion .
