The Legend of 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 and often felt jealous, but Hyacinthus always preferred Apollo and often played with him. One day, when they were throwing a discus on the grassland with great enthusiasm, Zephyrus, who was hiding in the bushes, felt uncomfortable and wanted to play a trick on them.
When Apollo threw the discus towards Hyacinthus, the jealous west wind god secretly blew hard next to him, and the heavy discus hit Hyacinthus's forehead, causing blood to gush out instantly. This handsome youth died on the spot. Apollo, in a panic, picked up his deceased friend with a heavy heart, sighing "Ai! Ai!" (Ai! Ai!), and saw that blood kept flowing from Hyacinthus's wound and flowing into the grass.
Soon after, clusters of purple flowers bloomed in the grass, and Apollo, to show his apologies, named the flower after the beautiful youth, which we directly translate as "hyacinth." The purple hyacinth has since been considered the spokesperson for "jealousy." Greek "Ai" and "Aei" (meaning "eternal") are synonymous, so hyacinths also symbolize "eternal remembrance." It's no wonder that Westerners often carve the pattern of hyacinths on the tombstones of their family members as a sign of "eternal remembrance."
