Karpos
In Greek mythology, Karpos (; ; (ラテン語:Carpus), literally "fruit"), was a youth renowned for his beauty. He is the son of Zephyrus (the west wind) and Khloris (spring, or new vegetation), forming a natural metaphor — the west wind heralds the new growth of spring, which then bears fruit. Carpo, one of the Horae, is in some ways the feminine equivalent of Karpos; her dominion was autumn, ripening, and harvesting. == Greek mythology == The story, told in Nonnus's ''Dionysiaca'', tells about the love of two youths, Karpos and Kalamos, son of Maiandros (god of the Maeander river). Karpos drowned in the Meander river while the two were competing in a swimming contest and in his grief, Kalamos allowed himself to also drown. He was then transformed into a water reed, whose rustling in the wind was interpreted as a sigh of lamentation.〔Nonnus, ''Dionysiaca'', translated by le Comte de Marcellus in 1856. Eglinton 1964: 474.〕
