Adônis (português brasileiro) ou Adónis (português europeu) (em grego clássico: Ἄδωνις), nas mitologias fenícia e grega, era um jovem de grande beleza que nasceu das relações incestuosas que o rei Cíniras de Chipre manteve com a sua filha Mirra. Adónis passou a despertar o amor de Perséfone e Afrodite. Mais tarde as duas deusas passaram a disputar a companhia do menino, e tiveram que submeter-se à sentença de Zeus. Este estipulou que ele passaria um terço do ano com cada uma delas, mas Adónis, que preferia Afrodite, permanecia com ela também o terço restante. Nasce desse mito a ideia do ciclo anual da vegetação, com a semente que permanece sob a terra por quatro meses.
