The legend of the hyacinth
The handsome and dashing youth Hyacinthus and the sun god Apollo were good friends, and the west wind god Zephyrus also liked Hyacinthus very much, often feeling envious, but Hyacinthus always preferred Apollo and often played with him. One day, as they were joyfully throwing the discus on the grassland, Zephyrus, hiding in the bushes, discovered them and felt uncomfortable, wanting to play a trick on them.
When Apollo threw the discus towards Hyacinthus, the envious west wind god secretly blew hard next to him, hitting the heavy discus on Hyacinthus's forehead, causing blood to gush out like a fountain. This handsome youth died on the spot. Apollo, in a panic, picked up his deceased friend and sighed, "Ai! Ai!" (Ai! Ai!) As the blood from Hyacinthus's wound kept flowing and fell to the ground and into the grass.
Soon after, strings of purple flowers bloomed in the grass. Apollo, to express his apology, named the flower after the beautiful youth, which we translate directly as "hyacinth." The purple hyacinth has since been considered the spokesperson for "envy"; the Greek word Ai is synonymous with Aei (meaning "eternal"), so the hyacinth also symbolizes "eternal remembrance." It's no wonder that Europeans and Americans often carve the pattern of hyacinths on the tombstones of their family members as a sign of "eternal remembrance."
