Answer:

Apollo's lover hyacinth was killed by a discus and subsequently transformed into a flower.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hyacinth is the product of Apollo inadvertently murdering his close friend Hyacinth with a discus (in another myth, Hyacinth was struck by the envious Zephyr, the West Wind). Apollo grows the flower as a tribute to his friend.
