Description I'm still drawing Greek myth romances--with a bit of modern kick...again.

"In the literary myth, Hyacinth was a beautiful youth and lover of the god Apollo, though he was also admired by West Wind, Zephyr. Apollo and Hyacinth took turns throwing the discus. Hyacinth ran to catch it to impress Apollo, was struck by the discus as it fell to the ground, and died. A twist in the tale makes the wind god Zephyrus responsible for the death of Hyacinth. His beauty caused a feud between Zephyrus and Apollo." (from Wikipedia)

I've drawn Apollo (the brown haired god) and Hyacinth (the young tattooed brunette) . The jealous west wind; Zephyrus is at the background holding a discus--the one he had killed Hyacinth with. I admit, the picture is not that dynamic. I've decided to make a redo of this one showing Hyacinth's death and Zephyr's anger--but not too soon maybe.
