A youth who was loved and accidentally killed by Apollon.
From his blood sprang the hyacinth (a bulbous plant of the Lily family); Hyakinthus was the son of Amyklas (Amyclas); a festival in his honor was held each year at the city Amyklae (Amyclae).
His name may also be rendered as Hyakinthos or Hyacinthos.
