SPRING MYTHS bcz it's SPRINGTIME

FLOWERS in GREEK MYTHOLOGY :D , Beautiful Tales :
1." "Hyacinth"
A handsome Spartan youth loved by both Apollo, god of the sun, and Zephyrus, god of the west wind. Both gods competed to gain this handsome youth’s attention. One day, as Apollo was teaching the young man how to throw the discus, the god accidentally killed Hyacinthus. According to another legend, Zephyrus was jealous of the youth's love for Apollo and blew upon the discus,causing it to strike Hyacinthus and kill him. The truth is that the hyacinth mentioned in this myth is most probably not what we call hyacinths today, as the “modern” hyacinth is not native to Greece. In fact, the myth may not even be the true source of the word "hyacinth," as it has been traced back to even more distant antiquity; a non-Greek language spoken some 4,000 years ago, called 'Thracopelasgian.'

2."Narcissus"-"narcotic"
This famous, flower inspired myth is perhaps more suited to the beauty of the narcissus. Narcissus was an exceptionally handsome young man. His mother had told him that he would live a long life if he did not look upon his own beauty. Narcissus however,decided to see his reflection on the surface of the water coming from a spring. He was so enchanted by his own beauty that he remained there, still, admiring his image until he died by the side of the spring. According to another version, he mistakenly thought that his own reflection was the face of the nymph that inhabited the spring and he drowned when we jumped into the water trying to catch her. The narcissus flower supposedly grew at that spot narciso
3."Crocus"-"Snow crocus"
Crocus was a friend of the Greek god Hermes. One day as the two friends were playing, Hermes accidentally hit and killed his friend. A small flower grew at the place of the accident. Three drops of Crocus’ blood fell on the center of the flower and formed the spots on this plant. The plant took the name crocus because of this event. According to another myth, Crocus was a young man who transformed into a flower because of his unfulfilled love for a nymph called Smilax. At the same time, Smilax transformed into a vine-plant (Smilax aspera-Sarsparilla). 4560
Greek mythology about flowers is wonderful,as about others subjects too, sometimes too much dramatic, but all this because they, the Greeks, had a huge love by their land, which was too much rough to born flowers; so was a happiness for them see and live the Spring time arrival :yes:
These are the most famous ones about flowers, but Greek Mythology has others, a good variety related not only with flowers but with the nature's surroundings. I posted these tales in a short way, as you can find them with more details and a bit much longer.
Hope you enjoy these 3 tales :D I'm posting them not only bcz i enjoy it a lot but also bcz seems Spring arrived earlier :
Have Fun and Joy,
It's Springtime..here in Lisbon looks more Summertime! :))

Man relieves himself in air-sickness bag !!

ODD News:" SkyWest Airlines apologized to a passenger who said he wasn't allowed to use the restroom during a one-hour flight and ended up urinating in an air-sickness bag.
James Whipple said he had two "really big beers" at the Boise, Idaho airport. While on a flight to Salt Lake City on March 7 he wanted to use the cabin restroom.
The captain had declared it off-limits during the short flight because a light wasn't working.
Whipple said he had used the cabin restroom before the plane departed but had to go again and finally reached for the air-sickness bag.
-"It was like I had no choice," :-/ Whipple told The Salt Lake Tribune,which posted the story on its Web site Friday.
No other passengers noticed Whipple using the bag |-| , but a flight attendant 8| asked him about it and told the captain, who called airport police.
Whipple was questioned and took a taxi home to Sandy, a Salt Lake City suburb.
The airline sent him a letter of apology :lalala: and a flight voucher ;D , SkyWest spokeswoman Sabrena Suite-Mangum said Friday.
She said SkyWest decided to go ahead with the flight and get the light fixed in Salt Lake City, rather than delaying it or canceling it for repairs.
"For such a short flight, we really felt we were trying to inconvenience the least number of passengers possible by operating that flight," Suite-Mangum said.
