Adonis and Astarte are ancient mythological figures embodying love and renewal. Adonis, a handsome mortal, captured the affection of the goddess Astarte. His tragic death while hunting a boar plunged Astarte into grief, bringing forth winter. His annual return from the underworld signaled spring, symbolizing the cycle of life's rejuvenation. Legend holds that red poppy seeds represent Adonis' blood, scattered on the earth. This myth beautifully weaves together themes of love, loss, and the rhythms of nature.
