little red riding hood is basically baby's first leucothoe myth
I have a beef with the authors of florist websites, especially regarding what they do with the myth of Clythie and Leucothoe. The current popular belief is that Clythie metamorphoses into a sunflower 🌻. I don't know where this belief comes from, apart from the obviousness of the name, I don't know if someone famous said it, but these same websites say that the sunflower is native to American continent🙂 So bro, Ancient Greece/Rome with a flower of american origin don’t go by hand😶 please check your facts. I mean, I don't give a damn if fanfics turn Clythie into a sunflower (it has this funny point, ok), but if you're doing proper work or analysing the meaning and it’s background (because that's what these websites mainly focus on), you can't publish that.
The main problem with these people is that they seek their mythological information on websites of “Miami me lo confirmó” facts, when even serious mythographical summaries say nothing about sunflowers. And also don’t do the proper association of what they are writing.
I think it would be a big plus if they read the myth... I know it's asking too much, but the myth isn't so long that you can't read it, nor is it boring. Besides, Ovid clearly states that she turns into a violet flower.
A pearly white overspread her countenance, that turned as pale and bloodless as the dead; but here and there a blushing tinge resolved in violet tint; and something like the blossom of that name a flower concealed her face. Although a root now holds her fast to earth, the Heliotrope turns ever to the Sun, as if to prove that all may change and love through all remain.
Didn’t point the fact that says Heliotrope because in the latin text I have checked doesn’t says the word “Heliotrope” so ig it’s depending on the translation:
Membra ferunt haesisse solo, partemque coloris luridus exsangues pallor convertit in herbas; est in parte rubor, violaeque simillimus ora flos tegit. Illa suum, quamvis radice tenetur, vertitur ad Solem, mutataque servat amorem.
Full myth in Ovid’s Metamorphoses 4. 192-270
The “turns ever to the Sun” refers that heliotropes only bloom on the side that faces the sun.
So to people who make informative media, please don't say sunflowers have a greek mythological meaning. Neither the ancient Greeks nor Ovid ever saw one in their entire lives😭
Many species are part of the Heliotropium genre but Ovid is referring to the violet ones.

I saw a headcanon that Atthis was pregnant with Erichthonius when she died and that Gaia acted as a surrogate after she was buried which I love
so hear me out: there’s this myth where Helios’s lover Leucothoe dies because she’s buried alive by her father, but there are also sources that say she had a son with with Helios called Thersanon who became an argonaut so what if Gaia also did the same thing for Helios & Leucothoe’s son
greek mythology | gods & goddesses | Κλυτία
→ clytie was a water nymph, apart of the oceanids. when her lover helios abandoned her for leucothoe, she stripped herself naked, starved herself, and for nine days stared at the sun. after nine days, she was turned into a turnsole, which turned its head longingly at helios’ chariot of the sun.
