Chapter 8
In Metamorphoses, Ovid tells of the tragic denouement of the love between Apollo and the Spartan prince Hyacinth, whom the god kills accidentally with a discus. Tiepolo depicted Apollo's grief for his lover in a detached, theatrical way, while other artists took a more intimate approach to this Classical scene of homosexual love.
