The Flower Language and Legend of Myrtle
Myrtle Legend In Greek mythology, theseus's ex-wife Ariadne was captured by Dionysus and married her sister Phaedra. Unfortunately, Phaedra fell in love with theseus's son, the handsome young Hippolytus. However, Hippolytus did not respond to this abnormal feeling and directly rejected Phaedra. Phaedra was so embarrassed that he hanged himself with a rope. As a result, theseus misunderstood his son and thought he had done something shameful. In a rage, he asked Poseidon to kill his son. Hippolytus told the truth before he died, but it was too late. Theseus was full of remorse, so he had to bury his son under the myrtle tree, and Phaedra was here. Because Myrtle witnessed Phaedra's struggle for love, out of anxiety and anxiety, she often used her fingers to pull out Myrtle's young branches and crush its glowing leaves.
