Very fair, lovely enough for Apollo to fall in love with him.
One son, Hyacinthus - the same boy who was Apollo's lover.
There are many legends about Apollo. But one of my favourites is the story of Hyacinthus. Hyacinthus was a golden boy who was loved by two gods. Apollo and Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. The two were constantly jealous if Hyacinthus spent time with the other. One day Hyacinthus was playing discus with Apollo, and Zephyrus grew jealous. So, when Apollo threw the discus, Zephyrus sent a great gust of wind that blew the discus off course. Back in those days, the disucs' were made of bronze and were very sharp. The discus went hurtling towards Hyacinthus and buried itself in his chest. Apollo ran to him and wept, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not bring him back to life. Apollo transformed Hyacinthus into a flower, that blooms in early spring, and dies in summer, as if killed by the sun and then blooms in spring once again. And that's how the Hyacinth flower came to be.
Hyacinthus, who was loved by both Apollo and Zephyros; when Apollo threw the disk, it was Zephyros who caused it to kill the boy. Apollo then transformed the dying youth into a larkspur flower (hyakinthos in Greek) which he inscribed with the wail of mourning "AI, AI."
The phrase "flitting life" in Apollo and Hyacinthus implies the transient and fragile nature of life. It suggests that life is brief and fleeting, like a butterfly flitting quickly from flower to flower. This imagery evokes a sense of impermanence and the idea that life should be cherished and enjoyed while it lasts.
His lovers were the nymph Daphne and Koronis.
