The Greek myth of the laurel is about the god of the sun, music and youth. He fell in love with a nymph: Daphne. Daphne, not being in love with this god, . She fell into a dead end, and prayed to Zeus, king of the gods. "O Zeus, God among the gods, Master and master of all things, save me I beseech you." Zeus heard it, and transformed the beautiful nymph into a laurel, and Apollo, sad, took a branch of it. It was now his symbol. By Mathys Mallon-Vittet

This story began with a young child named Cyparissus, who was a beloved child of God, and one day under a stifling heat cyparissus decided to go under shelter under a tree but accidentally he pierced the tree with a javelin.The young boy regretted his gesture so much that he asked the god Apollo to turn it into a tree to somehow redeem himself for his mistake and in time the cypress tree would become a funereal symbol of sadness and a tree of the dead.

Apollo was in love with Hyacinthos, who was of great and incredible beauty. But he was killed unvoluntarily by Apollo during a disc throw and this unfortunate accident was caused by Zephyr ; by jealousy, he deviated the trajectory of the disc with a breath of air . The disc launched by the god then hit the young man's head and killed him. From the blood of Hyacinthos, there sprang a flower that bears its name, Jacinth. Its petals are engraved with the complaints of Apollo. It seems that this flower is not the hyacinth but the Iris that carries a letter on its petals. According to other traditions, the hyacinth would have hatched from the blood of Ajax. By Fatou Koné (Ovide)
