When he went too high, the Earth froze, and when he went too low, the Earth caught fire. A large part of Africa turned into a desert and dried up the surrounding rivers, lakes and seas. The people, their skin turning brown, screamed in agony of terror. Faethón realized the chaos he had caused and tried desperately to control the chariot, but it was too late. The gods watched in horror as the world was consumed by fire and ice. Even Helios himself watched helplessly as his son's arrogance brought ruin to the land.\u003c\/span\u003e\n \n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFinally, enraged by the destruction and chaos, Zeus hurled a thunderbolt at the chariot, knocking Phaethon to the ground and sending him free-falling to his death. Phaethon's dead body fell from the sky and landed in the river below. His sisters, devastated by the loss of their beloved brother, mourned his death and their tears turned to amber. They cried so long and imploringly that they finally turned themselves into poplars bordering the river.

The rays of the sun, shining as well as the golden reins, are held by Phaethon's own hand. The edges are decorated with poplar leaves and branches with swan feathers and amber tears. One of the last elements added to the overall composition is the thunderbolts of Zeus, which represent Phaethon's striking end.

In his rampage, the rivers overflowed, the sea flooded the coastal plains, swallowed the foothills, and all mankind was wiped out - except for Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha, who were the only few survivors. They were saved by a warning given to them by Deucalion's father Prometheus, so they built a large chest in which they lasted nine whole days.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe pair of survivors find themselves on Mount Parnassus – the only place the flood did not reach – and plead with Zeus to spare them.

The parts that were soft and moist became skin, the rock veins became human veins, and bones grew from the hardest parts of the rocks. Stones thrown by Pyrrha spawned women. Men were born from the stones that Deucalion threw.

Passionately in love with Apollo, the sun god, he spent his days relaxing in the grass, listening to music and competing in friendly sports.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOne day they decided together to have a friendly discus throwing competition. Apollo threw first and had such power that the discus split the clouds in the sky. Hyakinthos, eager to get the disc back, ran after it to catch it. However, as he approached, the disk hit the ground and bounced back, striking Hyakinth's head and mortally wounding him.\u003c\/span\u003e\n \n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eApollo paled as he held his dying lover in his arms. He tried to save him with all kinds of herbs and even tried to give him ambrosia - the food of the Olympian gods - to heal Hyacinth's wound, but it was in vain. He could no longer heal the wound caused by fate. Apollo wept over Hyacinth's death and wished to become mortal so he could join the Spartan boy in the afterlife. But since this was impossible due to his immortality, he promised to remember him forever. Therefore, he turned Hyacinth's spilled blood into a flower - Hyacinth, so that he could be forever admired for his undying beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\n \n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe hyacinth flower held by Apollo's hand symbolizes their last moment in each other's arms. In the upside-down view, the flower and the stem with the flourishing hand take on the impression of a Spartan helmet and spear, which shows the noble origin of the prince. At first glance, we also recognize here something that looks like raindrops, but upon closer inspection, Apollo's tears are revealed. On the left side is then the disk that sits on Hyakinth's head, thus closing the circle of the story of eternal love and the memory of her, despite the pain of great loss.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n This plate is part of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artiseme.com\/product-category\/dining\/metamorphoses-collection\/\"\u003eMetamorphoses Collection.\u003c\/a\u003e Shop the other styles: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artiseme.com\/product\/adonis-dessert-plates\/\"\u003eAdonis\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artiseme.com\/product\/phaeton-dessert-plate\/\"\u003ePhaeton\u003c\/a\u003e , or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artiseme.com\/product\/deucalion-dessert-plate\/\"\u003eDeucalion\u003c\/a\u003e .","brand":"Michal Bačák","offers":[{"title":"4x Mix Metamorphoses plates","offer_id":49065595896086,"sku":"1003960","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true},{"title":"One plate","offer_id":49065595928854,"sku":"1003919","price":600.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/7467\/7782\/files\/Hyakintos_dezertni_talir.png?v=1743518470"},{"product_id":"phaeton-hluboky-talir","title":"Phaeton deep plate","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhaethon, the son of the mighty sun god Helios, longed to prove his worth to his father.
