Hyacinthus: there was a theory that when mortals die, the human brain lives on for 7 minutes to replay its best memories.

Apollo: huh… thats awfully poetic for a warrior prince

Hyacinth: I hope its true though, I don’t think I’ll be scared anymore as long as the last thing I see before I die is you.

I love how both Sparta and Miletus celebrated Apollo having a boyfriend.

Sparta -> Hyacinthus (had a festival called the Hyacinthia, where they celebrated their love, mourned Hya's death, and celebrated his resurrection to Olympus)

Miletus -> Branchus (built a temple dedicated to Branchus & Apollo, even naming it after the kiss Branchus gave Apollo)

so cute <3

Thinking about how there are some more niche versions of the story of Hyacinth and Apollo (calling him hyacinth cause it's easier) where Apollo manages to bring Hyacinth back and he becomes a minor god which you might think is a happy ending but in my mind IT IS NOT. I mean maybe it can be but not from the get go.

Like imagine you're Hyacinth and you're in love with a god which inherently comes with it's struggles as a mortal, but there's also this other god who's in love with you but you don't really fuck with him like that plus you're taken already. You choose to take the risks of being with Apollo cause you love him so much and those risks actually end up catching up to you but not because of the humans being jealous or anything, because you had the audacity to say no to someone. And the next thing you know you wake up and you're with Apollo but you're a minor god in Olympus. You might be able to visit your family but you can't truly reunite with them, all of the things in life you looked forward to doing as a human you won't be able to do. You'll have to watch everyone you loved and cared about slowly die and you're forced to live eternity surrounded by people that you have been raised your whole life to praise, the way you live your life will almost completely change AND you have to spend eternity living amongst your murderer all without your say in the matter.

I feel like eventually Hyacinth would settle and get used to it and be happy being with Apollo again but I cannot imagine it being an easy start by any means

The Statue - short Apollo/Hyacinthus comic

*Notes: Just to clarify, the boy kissing the statue isn't Hyacinthus, he just looks like him. This would take place centuries after his death.

Apollo/Lester would absolutely cup faces of his children/his loved ones into his so warm hands and kiss them in the forehead.

And Meg. She is his honorary little sister.

(Oh, and he would cup the ash that was left of Asclepius, his beautiful son with kind hands; and I am so sorry I didn't save you, I tried—, and put it near his heart, shaking in grief and despair).

(And Hyacinthus while he was bleeding out. Apollo would cup his face into his trembling hands that were stained with blood, weeping and murmuring over and over and his love would be fine - you will live— - and that everything is going to be okay.

And Apollo kissed him on the forehead, ignoring his love's glassy eyes.)

My friend and I once joked about how the whole Hyacinthus & Apollo & Zephyr triad reminds us of the wind and sun fable.

I wonder if they actually have some kind of correlation 🤔

Something I found out is that Hyacinthus, Helen, and Penelope are all Spartan royalty.

And they are all said to be absolutely stunning.

hmmm.....

When Apollo sees Nico and Will as a couple, do you guys think it reminds him of Hyacinthus?
