When Im With You
  • Apollo didnt act as a god when he was with
    Hyacinthus.

  • He did work like carrying nets and leashing dogs.
  • He probably got new callouses.

  • One day at noon, the couple decided to rub oil on
    themselves and throw the discus around.

    godliness

    the thrown disc.
  • He fails.

The Beat Goes On

    during a three day festival called the

    celebrate his ressurection as a flower.
