When Im With You

• Apollo didnt act as a god when he was with
  Hyacinthus.
• Quiver and lyre were nothing to him there
• He did work like carrying nets and leashing dogs.
• He probably got new callouses.

• One day at noon, the couple decided to rub oil on
  themselves and throw the discus around.

  godliness
• Hyacinthus, eager for his turn, races to catch
  the thrown disc.
• He fails.

The Beat Goes On

• Spartan men kept his memory by honoring him
  during a three day festival called the
  Hyakinthaea Festival
• One day to remember his death, and two days to
  celebrate his ressurection as a flower.
