Green Underwear

myancientworld:

Statue of Clio, the Greek muse of History. Figure made of marble pigment and gold, dated around 200 C.E.

Clio’s only son was Hyacinth, who was a lover of Apollo. Hyacinth died when he was accidently struck by a discus that Apollo had thrown; so by using his spilled blood, Apollo turned him into a flower- the hyacinth.
