The malicious wind god directs Apollo's arrow at Hyacinth, resulting in his untimely death.
The image depicts the heart-wrenching aftermath as blood spills from Hyacinth's body and from it springs a beautiful hyacinth flower, forever immortalizing his memory. The expressions on Apollo and Zephyr's faces tell a tale of sorrow, regret, and betrayal.
