Greek Mythology and Discus:
In Greek mythology, the discus is more than a mere athletic implement; it is a symbol of strength, skill, and divine favour. Most famously, it features in the tragic tale of Hyacinthus, a mortal youth beloved by the god Apollo. During a friendly discus competition, a fateful throw—whether by accident or the jealousy of the wind god Zephyrus—led to Hyacinthus’ untimely death, from whose blood Apollo brought forth the hyacinth flower. The discus remains an emblem of athletic excellence in ancient Greek culture, immortalised in both myth and the Olympic Games, where it embodied grace, power, and the pursuit of glory.
