Prince Hyacinth went running to recover the discus. His bare legs were a blur, his dark-blond curly hair coming loose from its knot. Running west into the wind, the young man might have gotten the sun in his eyes, so he didn't see that he was closing dangerously on the flying weapon. When the discus hit the ground, it rebounded off a rock. The sharp edge slammed Hyacinth right in the face. As the young man collapsed in the dust, a shout of Horror went up from the watchers.

What is the gentle breeze from the west named after a Greek god?
Zephyrus is the Greek god of the West Wind, believed to live in a cave on Thrace. He is the son of Eos and Astraeus and the brother of Boreas, Eurus and Notus. Some consider him and Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, as the parents of Eros, the god of love, and of Pothos (Longing) who was an attendant of Aphrodite. The West Wind had fallen in love with a handsome youth named Hyacinthus, who also was a favorite of Apollo, the god of light. One day Apollo was teaching Hyacinthus how to throw the discus, when the insanely jealous Zephyrus caught it in mid-air and blew it at Hyacinthus, striking the young man on the head and killing him. From his blood sprang the hyacinth flower. Zephyrus also abducted the goddess Chloris (Flora in Roman) and gave her dominion over flowers. In Roman myth, he is Favonius, the protector of flowers and plants. With Podarge, one of the Harpies, Zephyrus fathered the famous horses Xanthus and Balius, who are the Trojan War hero Achilles' immortal horses. Hera endowed the horses with human speech. They served Poseidon first, and next Peleus, Achilles and Neoptolemus. The union of Zephyrus and Podarge produced also Arion, a horse given by Heracles (Hercules) to Adrastus. Arion saved the life of Adrastus during the war of the Seven Against Thebes.

What is the legend of the Greek god Apollo?
There are many legends about Apollo. But one of my favourites is the story of Hyacinthus. Hyacinthus was a golden boy who was loved by two gods. Apollo and Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. The two were constantly jealous if Hyacinthus spent time with the other. One day Hyacinthus was playing discus with Apollo, and Zephyrus grew jealous. So, when Apollo threw the discus, Zephyrus sent a great gust of wind that blew the discus off course. Back in those days, the disucs' were made of bronze and were very sharp. The discus went hurtling towards Hyacinthus and buried itself in his chest. Apollo ran to him and wept, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not bring him back to life. Apollo transformed Hyacinthus into a flower, that blooms in early spring, and dies in summer, as if killed by the sun and then blooms in spring once again. And that's how the Hyacinth flower came to be.
