Carpos

In the Greek Mythology, Carpos (in Greek old Καρπός / Karpós , “Fruit”), is an young man considered for his beauty.

He is resulting from Zéphyr (wind of West) and from the nymph Chloris (partner with the Printemps and the Fleur S). The couple and their son form a natural metaphor thus: the wind of West is supposed to bring spring, flowering and fructification.

In its Dionysiaques , Nonnos tells its history with Calamos. The two young men are lovers, but Carpos drowns one day that they bathe together in the Méandre. Of despair, Calamos is let die and is changed into Roseau.
