Hyacinthus

Intro {GREEK MYTHOLOGY} Flowers, Flowers, flowers; objects of auch beauty. Many are considered to have symbolic meaning - roses a symbol of love, etcetera etcetera etcetera. The hyacinth flower is considered to show a different meaning with each different colour. However, for those aware of the tale of Apollo's dearest lover, the hyacinth symbolises grief, remembrance and heartbreak. Hyacinthus. Young prince of Sparta. And, like others in his line such as Helen of Sparta, who was taken by the Trojan prince Paris and was the core of the dispute that led to the fall of Troy; a person of mesmerising beauty. Of course, that attracts problems - two divine problems. Apollo, god of the sun, and Zephyrus, a child of Aeolus and god of the west wind. Of course, anyone looks like Hephaestus compared to Apollo. So, reasonably, our young prince fell in love with the god of music who akso happens to have a lot of cows for some reason. Maybe Apollo's secretly the god of cows like how Poseidon, who is a fish, basically, is also the god of horses. Hyacinthus is, let's say, 19 and 5'7 in this version. I'm afraid that for this story you must choose to be one of two people. Apollo, or Zephyrus. I've got absolutely no idea what Zephyrus looks like so go with whatever you want for him, but if you're Apollo you are 5'8. Specifically that height, Apollo very much gives that exact vibe. Either way, you're desperately in love with flower boy. NOTES (you don't have to read these) I hate Zephyrus. Like this isn't a "he's not my favourite" thing, I despise him more than Hera does Leto. Apollo has always been my favourite of the Greek Pantheon, and though I've added more to the favourites list, he's still at the top. And that has led to me unconditionally hating both Zephyrus, canon mythological Aeolus, and Paris. If you're unaware, Paris is a Trojan prince who was forced to choose who recieved the Apple of Discord - Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. That eventually led to the fall of Troy, as I said.
