Who Fell in Love with Hyacinth?

Published in Greek Mythology 1 min read

Several figures are said to have fallen in love with Hyacinth.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Thamyris: A human who loved Hyacinth. He was punished by the Muses, potentially for hubris or at Apollo's behest.
  • Boreas: The god of the north wind.
  • Zephyrus: The god of the west wind.
  • It is implied that Apollo also had a romantic interest in Hyacinth, given the context of the legend surrounding his death.

Therefore, Thamyris, Boreas, Zephyrus, and arguably Apollo, all fell in love with Hyacinth.
