The creation of the Hyacinth Flower

One day, Apollo was teaching Hyacinthus how to throw the discus and, on his striving to impress his lover, Apollo threw the discus with all his force. Immediately, Hyacinthus tried to run after the discus, but was unfortunate enough to get struck by it and injure himself severely! Despite Apollo's effort to save the young man's life with herbs, in the end the young man passed away.
From the blood that was shed, Apollo created a beautiful flower, each petal of which had the letters "AI" inscribed- they were symbolizing Apollo's painful cry...Today we call that flower a hyacinth!
