Fabulae Syrae XXXIV Summary

Summary: (one of the stories)
Hyacinths:
Apollo visits the beautiful mortal boy Hyacinths, and they decide to throw discs together. Apollo throws a disk and it goes into the clouds. Hyacinths attempts to catch it, but Zephyrus, another God who was hiding in the clouds, is jealous of Hyacinths’ admiration for Apollo. Zephyrus changes the course of the disk and makes it hit Hyacinths in the head, killing him. Apollo mourns his loss and consequently names a flower after him.
