Cinyras had a bunch of kids, including a daughter named Myrrha (or Smyrna). She wasn't into love, so she scorned Aphrodite. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Big mistake. Aphrodite cursed Myrrha to fall in love…with her own father! DUN DUN DUN. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

According to Ovid, Aphrodite sicced her son, Cupid/Eros, on Myrrha. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Ovid says succinctly, "It is wrong to hate your father, but that [incestuous] love was a greater wrong than hatred." #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

So what was Myrrha to do? Her nurse said, during the festive of Demeter/Ceres, goddess of fertility, men couldn't sleep w/ wives. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

So Cinyras was left with an empty bed…for nine nights! Myrrha then got her dad drunk and hopped into bed with him. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Cinyras was happy to have a pretty young thing in his bed, not realizing all along the girl was his own daughter! Eek! #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

After the nine nights were up, Myrrha realized she was pregnant with her father's child! #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Cinyras discovered what he'd been tricked into doing and was disgusted. He chased his pregnant daughter out with a sword. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Myrrha fled, weeping, all the way to Arabia (since pregnant women apparently can run REALLY fast). #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Soon, she's in the land of the Sabaeans in modern Yemen. Myrrha begs to be banished from both life and death. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

Tired of her father chasing her, Myrrha "prayed to the gods that she might be invisible," according to Pseudo-Apollodorus. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

As a result, the gods turned Myrrha, pregnant with her father's child, into a myrrh tree! #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

So Cinyras couldn't kill his pregnant tree/daughter, but she was still with child. A few months went by… #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

…and a cute baby boy popped out of Myrrha the myrrh tree! His name? Adonis, the one true love of the goddess Aphrodite. #ArborDay

— Carly Silver (@CarlyASilver) April 24, 2015

So the story went full-circle: Aphrodite's great love, Adonis, came from a curse she set on a girl she hated. The end! #ArborDay
