Did the god Apollo dye?

In Greek mythology, Apollo was killed while practicing discus throwing with one of his lovers, Hyacinth. A jealous Zephyrus (god of the west wind) blew his discus off course and it struck Apollo in the head, instantly killing him. By the way, the word DIE has no "Y". It was Hyacinth that got killed by the discus not Apollo. Apollo being a god was immortal.


Did the greek god Apollo ever cry?

Of course he does . Just because he is a god does not mean he dose not cry. This is from the story Apollo and Hyacinth . I copied it from a website. Apollo held his dying friend close to his breast, and his tears fell in a stream onto the boy's bloody hair. Hyacinth died, and his soul flew to the kingdom of Hades. The god bent close to the dead boy's ear, and softly whispered: "In my heart you will live forever, beautiful Hyacinth. May your memory live always among men as well." And lo, at a word from Apollo, a fragrant red flower rose from Hyacinth's blood. We call it hyacinth, and on its petals you can still read the letters "Ay," the sigh of pain that rose from Apollo's breast.
