Adonis

Adonis was a Greek mortal.

Mythology
Adonis was born extremely handsome and beautiful. Even as just a baby he caught the attention of Aphrodite. She entrusted him to Persephone in the Underworld. When Adonis grew up Persephone refused to give him back to Aphrodite so Zeus had to intervene. He declared that Adonis would spend a third of the year with Aphrodite and a third with Persephone. He could spend the last third of his year with whichever goddess he wishes, although he always chose Aphrodite.

Adonis was killed by Ares in the guise of a wild boar because he was jealous of Aphrodite's love for Adonis. Adonis died after Aphrodite came to him and he died in her arms.

Aphrodite put nectar in Adonis' blood and the anemone came from the mixture.
