Hi nox, how are you? Can you give some information and insight related to (73) KLYTIA if you have not yet spoken about this asteroid.

Thanks, have a nice day 💟

klytia, the water nymph who was in love with the sun (asteroid 73)

Clytie was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys thus she was an Oceanid. In Metamorphoses by Ovid, Clytie was a lover of Helios, the sun god. Helios, however, turned his attention away from Clytie to Leucothea. Clytie was jealous and told Leucothea's father, Orchamus, about his daughter's impure relations with the sun god. In turn, Orchamus buried his daughter alive. Clytie believed that with Leucothea gone that Helios would return to her, but he only grew to hate her. Clytie was depressed and desperate for the attention of Helios, so she laid out on the rocks near her home along the shore. For nine days, she laid there naked without eating or drinking. On the ninth day, she transformed into a flower, the heliotrope (in some versions, she becomes a sunflower). IN MY OPINION Klytia in a chart can represent a) who you adore most, b) where you feel rejected by the person you love most, c) how you get revenge on the people you are jealous of, and/or d) romantic related depression.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of klytia along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of klytia!

[levforfakes]

the difference between icarus and clytie is that icarus was in love with freedom

the wind in his hair, the warmth on his skin, clouds skimming his fingertips, waves neath his feet. he flew. he was a god.

and he died a god, melting in a shower of wax and feathers, falling down into the endless ocean where he sunk to the floor to rot for all eternity. is that not a death fit for a god?

clytie, now clytie, she was in love with the sun.

oh, how it blinded her eyes when she stared, but she could not stop. her skin would tan, burn, wither with exposure, but still she would not face away from her love, her one and only. but the sun would not spare a passing glance, forever destined to track its way across the sky, not caring for the mortals beneath it.

but its indifference did not defer her. from the first rays of dawn to the last of dusk she would stare and stare, molten light bleaching her hair, eyes fading with blindness, but still she did not look away. she was a mortal, lived a mortal, died a mortal

hair became petals, face became thousands of seeds, skin became leafy green. forgotten to the stories, yet still, she follows the sun.

so we all know Clytie was a woman who pinned after the sun god and turned into a sunflower to watch him forever (either Helios or Apollo depending on the myth)

and i was thinking about it in the Apollo sense, and randomly thought:

what if, while apollo was mortal, any and all sunflowers in his vicinity just. wheeled around to face him and he just. FREAKS OUT. like OH MY GODS IT'S MY EX

and meg just laughs and says; "does this one wanna kill u too?"

"NO! SHE STALKS ME!"

"we've dealt with worse. besides, it's just a bunch of sunflowers"

Clytie by George Frederic Watts, c. 1868

The name of this delicious flower [ Heliotrope ] is derived from the Greek helios, ‘the sun’, and tropos, ‘turning’, reflecting the heliotrope’s habit of turning towards the sun and following its course around the horizon. The plant is associated with the sorrowful story of the nymph Clytie, who fell in love with Apollo, the sun god. Apollo spurned her because he was in love with another, and Clytie fell into deep despair, spending every day prone upon the cold, bare earth, her pleading eyes riveted on Apollo in his sun chariot. Out of pity, the gods turned her into a heliotrope, and so for all eternity she follows Apollo’s daily journey, her love unchanged. George Frederic Watts captured Clytie’s yearning in his 1868 sculpture of that name, which shows the nymph metamorphosing from a cluster of leaves, straining and twisting her neck to catch a glimpse of Apollo behind her. Watts believed that Clytie’s devoted, searching gaze also represented man’s quest for spiritual enlightenment.

Helianthus annus

(Common Annual Sunflower)

(Image by John Miller from the Illustratio systematis sexualis Linnaeani, 1804)

History and Etomology: The sunflower was named in the 1560s, after the Greek word helios, meaning "sun", and the Greek word for flower, "anthos". The sunflower is a heliotrope, which is any plant that face the sun.

Flower Symbolism: The sunflower, specifically the common sunflower, symbolizes adoration, loyalty, and well wishes. Different kinds of sunflowers like the dwarf or the perennial have slightly different meanings, but all sunflowers typically share at least this base symbolism.

Fun Facts:

Sunflowers can grow up to 300 centimeters (nearly 10 feet!) tall

The disk, or center of a sunflower is technically made up of many tiny flowers, that are pretending to be one larger flower to attract more pollinators

Some people think Clytie, an Oceanid from Greek mythology, was turned into a sunflower. She was turned into a heliotrope, but typically not a sunflower. Depends on who you ask!

Asteroids for the Rejected and Abandoned Lover

Please don't take this one literally and too seriously. These asteroids do NOT mean you or someone else will experience the same fate as the mythological figure.

A lot of these myths and stories end badly for the female character(s). But consider that there is a long history of writers and artists who created tragic female characters to highlight the tragic nature of their work or to explain a different phenomenon. This should not be a reflection of real life. I made this list just because I noticed a similar theme.

11, 171, 556, 209, 53, 43, 2212, 73

Parthenope 11

Named after Parthenope, a siren who drowns herself after failing to lure Odysseus

Her name means "maiden-voiced."

Hard time accepting rejection; overreacting to rejection

Ophelia 171

Named after Ophelia, the rejected lover of Hamlet from Shakespeare's Hamlet

Ophelia loses her mind when she finds that Hamlet did not love her; she drowns

Feeling a loss of innocence; what we thought was real is not real

Regret; a target for misogyny; retreating into the mind where everything is overblown

Phyllis 556

Named after Phyllis, the wife of Demophon, the King of Athens

When Demophon leaves Phyllis behind to help his father in Greece, Phyllis gives him a casket and tells him to open it when he gives up all hope of returning to her.

Some versions have Phyllis committing suicide when she realizes her husband will not come back; other versions have Demophon opening the casket and accidentally falling on his sword, killing him

Losing faith and giving up hope for a relationship; attachment issues

Dido 209

Named after Dido, the founder and first queen of Carthage (modern-day Tunisia)

In Virgil's Aeneid, Dido falls in love with Aeneas, a Trojan hero, but kills herself when he is ordered by Jupiter to leave.

Before she dies, she has a funeral pyre built to burn everything that reminds her of Aeneas and curses the Trojans, giving rise to the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage.

Becoming vengeful when hurt; overreactions that cause disasters

Also clever, wise, a leader, passionate, volatile

Kalypso 53

Named after Calypso, a nymph who wanted Odysseus to be her husband in exchange for immortality, but he refused because he wanted to be with his wife Penelope

She forces Odysseus to sleep with her and stay with her on her isolated island for seven years

Zeus, with the help of Athena and Hermes, tells Calypso to set Odysseus free

Calypso is upset but helps Odysseus with whatever he needs to leave the island

Her name means "she who conceals"

Hanging onto others for our own benefit; making something/someone fit into our plans; trying to persuade others to change their mind

Falling for someone who is already attached to someone else; being jealous

Feeling that life is unfair; getting the short end of the stick

Ariadne 43

Named after Ariadne, the Cretan princess who helped Theseus find his way out of the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur

Ariadne betrays her father and country for her love for Theseus, who was a sacrifice for the Minotaur

There are many versions, but ultimately Theseus leaves her; Ariadne then marries Dionysus

A labyrinth-like love life; love taking twists and turns; unexpected endings

Betrayal in the name of love or personal desires

Helpfulness cannot be exchanged for love

Hephaistos 2212

Named after Hephaestus, the Greek god of metalworking, woodworking, artisans, fire, and volcanoes

Hephaestus's mother, Hera, throws him off Olympus when she discovers he has a birth defect

He creates a golden throne for Hera that she could not stand up from once she sat down; the gods try to persuade him to free her; only Dionysus is successful when he gets Hephaestus drunk

Hephaestus and Aphrodite marry, but Aphrodite is consistently unfaithful to him with Ares, the god of war

He creates a chain net that falls on Aphrodite and Ares when they are in bed together to parade them in front of the other gods

Hephaestus and Aphrodite eventually divorce

Exacting revenge, big or small, against those who wrong you

Being outcasted by others; black sheep of the family/group

Talented and indispensable but looked down on or underestimated

Klytia 73

Named after Clytie, a nymph who loved Helios, the sun god

But Aphrodite makes Helios leaves her for another woman, princess Leucothoe, as revenge for Clytie revealing her affair with Ares to Hephaestus

Clytie, upset by and jealous of Helios leaving her, tells Leucothoe's father about his daughter's affair with Helios

The father buries his daughter alive, and Helios never goes back to Clytie

Can show where we are excessively jealous and vengeful
