Adonis was a young man of unparalleled beauty, so captivating that even goddesses competed for his attention. Born from a tragic fate and surrounded by divine intrigues, his story is woven with love and loss. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, fell madly in love with him, protecting him as her most precious treasure. But Adonis’s beauty did not make him immune to the dangers of the world.
Legend says he loved hunting, fearlessly facing the beasts of the forests. However, this fearless spirit led him to a fatal encounter with a wild boar. Aphrodite rushed to save him but arrived too late. It is said that where his blood fell, anemones grew — delicate flowers that symbolize the fleeting nature of life and love. The goddess’s sorrow was so profound that Zeus allowed Adonis to spend part of the year with her in the world of the living, and the rest in the realm of the dead.
This eternal cycle of coming and going made Adonis a symbol of nature’s renewal, of blooming and withering with the seasons. His legend transcended time, inspiring poets and artists who saw in him not only a beautiful face but the very essence of youth slipping through one’s fingers — an impossible love marked by tragedy, but also by the promise of return, like spring after winter.
