Apollo and Hyacinth - A Story about Jealousy - Greek Mythology Stories - See U in History 

I read somewhere that it could be because Apollo was too perfect. To make him so unlucky in love was a way to balance things. To show you cannot have everything.

@@joaniedallaire4352 That's what I was thinking. He's always described as a great beauty and talented in many things. Sometimes that's enough, sometimes it's not. As I recall, Aphrodite's greatest lover was Ares, who is bloodlust incarnate. Perhaps there's some similarly there.

I read somewhere that cupid cursed the love life of apollo after he mocked cupid's archery skills

@@morax5015 That's another interesting theory!

Ok. So there's Um... 1.) Persephone but Demeter doesn't see Apollo as son in law material. Plus, Hades already got to her. 2.) Then there's Adonis but Aphrodite and Persephone are at tug-o-war for the most beautiful boy. 3.) Also there's Daphne, but was foiled chase when she begged some god/dess to save her. Seemed that her prayers were heard. She turned into a plant while in Apollo's grasp abducting her. That plant, my friends, we now know as Laurel tree. 4.) .... And then there's Hyacinth. (Whew!) What fascinates me though, is Apollo being 'double-edge' if y'know what I mean. (wink... wink...)

Or don't make frisbees out of hard bronze.

This comment is kind of cursed

lol you just make me remember a horrible frisbee game i did back middle school

This is the reason why frisbee is made with plastic (jk)

More like: "Don't fall in love with Gods/Goddesses."

And he turned him to a flower 🌼 🌸 🏵 so he can pretty much see and think of him FOREVER

My favourite greek myth is Hades and Persephone, and Ares and Aphrodite.

Um, no, the most legendary gay romance in existance is Achilles and Patroclus...

Tell us the source which tells us their sexual relationship

@@doraglavan3614 they are cousins u sicko

@@doraglavan3614 they are cousin dumbo

I don't think he was 100% gay. Remember the Cassandra affair & what came out of it? Plus he did also have a crush on a female flower nymph which also came to nothing. Apollo had the looks but was also considered to be a loser or a complete bore regarding matters of the heart.

He's not the only one. There is also daphene a nymph who he loved with all his heart

@Dishani Mendis well, I don’t count daphne as true love because it was forced in a way because Apollo mocked Eros archery skills claiming he’d never reach the skill Apollo himself. Therefore Eros took revenge on him by forcing unrequited love shooting him with a love arrow while shooting Daphne with a lead arrow (hate arrow). I consider true love to be when both sides love each other. Hyacinth was the other lover who didn’t take advantage of Apollo’s god power (Aka Cassandra) or cheat on him (Aka Cronus) or run away repulsed by him (Aka Obviously Daphne and countless others). Hyacinth is the only one he cried for it even says in the mythological texts, Theoi, that he “feels sorrow for the death of his love,” Hermès replies “Oh do you ache for that Daphne again,” he replied, no “I grieve for my beloved, Hyacinth the son of Oibolos,” This shows that hyacinth in a way replaced in a way, probably because he’s the only beloved he has who retuned the love.

@@itsmemaiselfandi7600 I also think that Hyacinthus was Apollo's greatest love (come on! That's so obvious). But I would just like to correct one thing: you mentioned Cronus as a female lover who cheated on Apollo; wouldn't it be Coronis?

I think his only love was the girl who turn into tree

@@itsmemaiselfandi7600 the myth of daphne in which she turns to laurel is a etiological myth meaning it explains the origin of laurel because Daphne = laurel . in ancient greece laurel was sacred to apollon and as a ritual was offered to him so to explain why such a ritual ( offering laurel to Apollo) is practised they created the myth of daphne . ritual is independent of the myth meaning ritual precedes myth secondly coronis didn't cheat as Apollophanes of arcadia , a scholar went to Delphi ( sacred place of Apollo) to ask about the birth of asklepius (child of apollo and coronis) the pythia *priestesses of Apollo* through whom apollo speaks to mortals said : O Asklepios, born to bestow great joy upon mortals, pledge of the mutual love I enjoyed with Phlegyas' daughter, lovely Koronis, who bare thee in rugged land Epidauros.’ (these are the words of apollo himself) besides cassandra was granted the power of prophecy by apollon indirectly . If you do some background research on cassandra you'll find out that cypria is where cassandra is *first* mentioned it is stated that one night cassandra was left in the temple of apollo where two snakes licked her ears giving her the vision of future *but* Apollo didn't curse her . the story of Cassandra being cursed was written by a tragedy writer named aeschyles who was infamous for painting woman mad and weak and Apollo has many lovers whom he loves dearly Apollo arranged hyacinthia , a festival that honoured hyacinth .

that's why he was jealous of artemis and orion and in one version caused the death of orion

@@riches3581 I wasn't jealous I was scared he might hurt her.

No I can't. At this point I don't even think I deserve one.

@@apollogodofthesun5630 wait a second oh yes I remember zephyrus saying the same thing

Then you realize Apollo killed the only man Artemis could have fallen in love with out of jealousy through trickery and you don't feel bad anymore.

no , it's Greek mythology ( srsly there are a whole lot of pretty boys turned into flowers )

@@hotandcoolperson8917 Narcissus and Crocus as well

Because he is beautiful and like flower with a short life. 🙃

JoJo part 5 SPOILER ALERT no, this is Narancia

@@Lana-qp9qv DUDE, U JUST HAD TO REMIND ME ABOUT THAT

Same 😭

But like Eros cursed him with a love arrow and shot a lead arrow at Daphne causing her to hate him so it wasn't completely his fault

Didn’t lucas i think his name was( pretty sure im wrong its something LU )a male he was in loved with after confession then proceeded to run off a cliff to avoid him(to which he if im correct was the 3rd person to do this)

All of the 9 Muses loved him and viewed him as their leader & boyfriend (uwu) Cyrene also loved him. Wikipedia says he has abt 60+ offsprings😌 and most of his lovers are one night-stand.

@Evan Li i guess you are talking about daphne myth in which she turns to laurel . the myth of daphne is etiological meaning that it explains the origin of laurel . laurel in ancient Greece was sacred to Apollon and as a ritual they used to offer apollo so to explain why a ritual is done the myths are formed . ritual is independent of myths . rituals do not need the existence of myths to be practised so daphne was never a nymph nor was Apollo a (creep). besides even if it were true lest i can say is that Apollo didn't leave daphne when she turned into a laurel rather he accepted her and made her his sacred plant now i don't know who will love a plant ? A creep or a true lover ( Apollon)

Yesss

Yeah 👌

viria though 😂😂❤

💙💙💙🍪🍪🍪

Yesss

Seriously tho HIS FRIEND

History hates lovers

@@Kitski2820 History hates GAY lovers.

How does one "train young boys" to become responsible men with homosexuality? 🤔

TeaCup Kitten That was called pederasty, and was very different from gay relationships themselves.

But today it makes people aggressively angry for whatever reason

Yeah like Aphrodite and Eros basically were attracted to anyone attractive despite gender

@@teacupkitten7077 Basically you had a "lover" and a "loved". Usually the lover was older and more of a teacher/older brother figure to the other. They would teach them all they knew including how to make love since that's hella important.

*saddest

Joanie Dallaire poor Apollo

Sir. Mclovin omfg I’m deaddddddd

Pan really...

Dishani Mendis hehe pan

*Why are you running !*

god i love this interview

Zephyrus: if I can't have him, no one can 😡😡😡

@@cruxivar6026 Or rock or fall of a cliff

Accept his love? Dead. Say no? Dead. Basically become a vampire and join Artimes because if he falls for your as good as dead

Hey, Daphne tried that and she turned into a tree.

@@Object-Impermanence-Official If Apollo falls in love with another man, he'll be doomed then. XD

@@hyacinths4941 yup (there is actually a story with a Male hunter of Artimes but their pretty rare)

Oooh I'm the 69th like 😉😉😉😉😉

Oooh I'm the 69th like 😉😉😉😉😉

i mean… he’s not a cinnamon roll but go off?

😱

Idk, I read about the Cult of Hyacinthus, and it turns out, he and Apollon were also seen as the same God. Hyacinthus in his cult, has sort of like Persephone's role, he was associated with vegetation and the Cycle of Decay and Rebirth. Some versions state that Apollon was successful at giving him his immortality and died.

My exact point!!!!

You put it into words ❤️

For something that wasn't even his fault.

He shouldn't insult eros in the first place

@@bark8774 do you know what Eros did?

Disc wants to know your location

Do u do u really

You're going to turn into a plant tho- or get killed bestie

Which ep? What scene? I badly want to know

WHAT

​@@Estellesullen he's in multiple eps..I think some of the middle eps..he has a purple garment and dark hair..we they show him sleeping in bed with Apollo and a female goddes(Thalia) this was when Zeus was throwing thunderbolts in the ocean

Oh my, thank you.

@@apollogodofthesun5630 OoO✨

Also my 2nd fav~~ who is your fav? Mine is Hades

My uncles name is Hacinto (Hyacinth in Spanish...)

ZEUS BEING RESPONSIBLE AND WISE *Choke* NOW COME ON.. but whatever everything has different theories and sides so :.)

What goddes?

@Mari what greek goddess? There are tons of them?

@Mari Also Hyacinth isn't a god. Just Apollo and Zephyr. And yes, that's why I was confused. Maybe you wanted to know more about Artemis.

@Mari If you are aware than why did you refer to him in the god/goddess discussion?

spartan prince?

Ritchell Pandac he was

@@elissarkheirbeyck9877 but apollo resurrected Hyacinth and his sister who died a madien . Spartans worshipped both Apollo and Hyacinth together as Apollo-Hyacinth . Apollo honoured hyacinth by arranging a festival for him named hyacinthia 💛💜.

@@ritchellpandac41 yes he was a Spartan prince . Hyacinth was later resurrected by aid of Apollon and was worshipped along with Apollon in Sparta .

I mean, there are a lot of love stories better than twilight

@@amethystsavage4018 most love stories are better than twilight

Hades has a son? Awesome!

Chris Kasmarski he does! And I do believe he has two other daughters ( all three are bore from Persephone)

Oh wow

@@JD-el9eo I didn't. I don't know why I didn't. That's still a mystery to me.

If the god of time loved Hyacinthus, Hyacinthus would have no problem in being alive again :)..

Keep in mind Hyacinthus was a Spartan prince so he came up in the Spartan culture made famous in the movie 300. It wouldn’t surprise if Apollo was sometimes the bottom cause Spartans don’t play.

OH MI...

Hi almighty god ✨

Dah Poe wtf

Hello lgbt friends!
