You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you🥰🥰

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

So many people are posting like, "Yo, look, this song is so Patrochilles/SunFlower/Hades×Persephone this is so accurate to their relationship."

Sure, the vibes are fine. The vibes are ok.

But I'm a perfectionist.

Have you listened to Aidoneus? Dude has so far written five songs (four with vocals and one instrumental) and they're all about Greek Mythology.

Persephone in the Garden - Hades×Persephone

Hyacinthus - Hyacinthus×Apollo

Devourer - Patroclus×Achilles

Kronos/Rhea - What the name says and more.

Arche (instrumental)

Like, these songs EXIST. Just listening to them made me feel like I was ascending into heaven. The harmonies are angelic. The instrumentals are immaculate. The vocals are gorgeous.

I just love these songs so much and seeing how people are digging around for one line in some random pop song which has nothing to do with the ship they're relating it to sometimes drives me mad.

For fucks sake, people, go listen.

Dude's literal name is Aidoneus. It's another name for Hades. What more proof do you need that this is a Greek mythology nerd?

LISTEN to me. Generally I'm not a big fan of romantic love as this mythical, overpowering entity that takes from and dominates all other forms of love. Because its not, its flexible, ebbing and flowing, and no less meaningful for it!! Soulmates aren't discovered, they're built after a lifetime of understanding and care!!

BUT THEM..Them!!

There's just something about the pathos of a love that is all-consuming and transcendental, near-mythological in its intensity. An immortal love. The other half of your soul, the imprint you'd even know blind. Your life-breath. You'd choose them over and over again, in every lifetime. If not them, then who?

Apollo and Hyacinthus for my Humanities final ☀️

[fromedennn]

Sprawling farther than the eyes see, green lush

Fields and sun’s azure skies. Golden discs, two,

Slice through clouds before they curve back around—

falling star from heavens, crashes to Earth.

A painful slash upon the neck, blood drips—

A mourning lover cries.

Where is morning? The sun won’t rise.

What purple o’er his head, a flower blooms

In his stead. Failed healing, he takes last breaths.

There is no cure for Fate dictated death.

hello all I am writing a story about Hyacinthus and Apollo and thought I'd post about it to actually make myself finish it

[amiti-art]

Every 5 minutes of scrolling through Greek Mythology fanarts be like

Come on I can't be the only one

[sophiejanefostersilver]

Whenever I try to build a timeline about apollo (I tried twice, but still), I just feel like like Hyacinthus was one of his lasts

Like, Hyacinthus, then Daphne, and then we never heard about his love stories until pjo

And there IS a version of the story where Hyacinthus came back to life

I'm just saying, what if they still together? What if they got the happy ending they deserve?
