希腊神话中的许多人物都被用来解释植物和花卉的存在,如水仙和风信子等。 其中一个人物是克罗克苏斯(Crocus)。 鳄梨 藏红花由此而来。

鳄鱼和赫尔墨斯

克洛库斯神话可能不像希腊神话中的其他起源故事那样有明确的定义,但故事中的事件被认为发生在拉塞多尼亚(斯巴达)或阿提卡的埃琉西斯。

这个故事最有名的版本讲的是,凡人青年克洛库斯是使者赫尔墨斯的情人,据说这对情人在进行体育运动时,赫尔墨斯投掷的铁饼击中了克洛库斯的头部,使他受了致命伤。

悲痛欲绝的赫耳墨斯把他的爱人变成了一朵花,克洛索斯头上滴下的三滴血变成了花的圣痕。

虽然这个故事与阿波罗和风信子的故事非常相似,但它们可能是重复的,因此也存在另一个版本的神话。

番红花和耧斗菜

克洛库斯神话的另一个版本虽然细节更少,但据说凡人克洛库斯爱上了旱神仙女斯米拉克斯。

至于克洛库斯的爱是不求回报的,还是凡人和仙女不能在一起,这取决于故事的版本。

众神会怜悯克洛库斯,把他变成花朵,以减轻他的悲伤,但斯米拉克斯变成了多刺的藤蔓,这或许表明克洛库斯才是被拒绝的爱人。
