Sunflowers in Greece

According to a greek ancient myth, a young woman called Clytia fell in love with Helios, God of the Sun, who unfortunately did not return her sentiments. So intense was her passion that she spent all her time watching him and eventually turned into Helianthus... Sunflower, the flower that is forever turns its face to the sun.
