…However, farmers were not satisfied with this alone, and instead of inviting tree spirits from the forests and mountains, they established new gods in the land they cultivated. For example, the ancient Greeks held a festival called Hyakinthia, a spring festival commemorating the beautiful young boy Hyacinthus, who was killed by a discus thrown by Apollo. It is believed that Hyacinthus was actually the personification or deification of the hyacinth or a similar plant. … From Hyacinth…The name Hyacinthus, with its unusual suffix (-nth-), was originally of indigenous Greek origin, and he was probably a grain spirit who died and rose again, but the above myth may have arisen as an explanation for the fact that his worship was replaced by that of Apollo, who arrived later.
