I started drawing a comic about Hyacinthus 🌟 These are the main characters

Polyboea – sister of Hyacinth

Zephirus – god of the west wind

Thamyris – Thracian singer

Hyacinth – The youngest of the sons of Amyclus – King of Sparta

Apollo – in this interpretation also Delius (one of his many epithets), the god of a lot of things in his earthly guise

I edited an old drawing :P

These are the old Apollo's Hair but I kinda like it here..

do you like this myth ? Cool! I'm working on a comic called Hyacinthia based on the Hyacinthus and Apollo Myth ;). Interact to support!

I finally drew hyacinthus yoo

Anyway-

First impressions, aloof, very friendly and kind, a bit unassuming and doesn't strike you to be a spartan, very graceful and polite

When you get to know him beyond that.. he is a need for poisons, is extremely smart that he's also a dumbass, but yeah he hyper fixates on anything poisonous (I wanted him to be poison obsessed because apollo is the god of healing as well but I might have gotten inspired by apocethary diaries too)

He really hates being bored and is a bit sadistic but still kind and forgiving nonetheless (he doesn't want to harm people unless it's deserved or so but it's likely are)

Assasins who have gone after him had tried to kill him and failed (funny how hyacinthus got killed by a discus) because hyacinthus also assassinates them first or had warn them (he usually doesn't kill though, so he's chill) however he's a fair guy who gives at least three chances or so.

Did the hyacinth flower exist before hyacinthus got turned into a hyacinth or was hyacinthus the first hyacinth? Bc I love seeing hyacinthus wearing hyacinths but like, did hyacinths exist when hyacinthus was alive?

This is a real question but also I'm having fun squeezing the word in as many times as I can

flower picking 🪻

hyapollo take me back i miss hyperfixating on hya

Who did Apollo’s boyfriend like this 😭

fathers casually dropping the craziest lore of their lives in the middle of a conversation

My brother and I trying to piece together our dad’s life based on random info he casually brings up once and then never mentions again

When my great grandpa was on his deathbed my grandpa (his son) was with him and says his last words were “I told them they shouldn’t have hanged that woman. Well by damn they’re paying now” and no one in my family knows what the fuck that means

My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like, “Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she’ll be fine.” Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.

No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.

We were driving through Old Country once and my grandpa Sasha randomly went “oh this is where we blew up that bridge as kids, I guess it got rebuilt”

I need to share this thought on tumblr as well.

This statue of Hyacinthus has the same build as a baby horse.

Guys i almost cried while doing this i love them and i cant wait to show it to Apollo🥹🙏💛💜

hecate

I'm trying to think what would be Hyapollo's outfit style in a modern au but I can't think of anything 😞

Any ideias?

Update, found this for Apollo on Pinterest (loved it), but still no ideas for Hyacinthus

When in doubt, put the flower prince in the Greek army uniforms.

That's the difference I've been trying to put my finger on.
