Ganymede, Cupbearer to the Gods

In Greek mythology, Ganymede is a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. Ganymede was tending sheep when he was abducted by Zeus from Mount Ida, near Troy. Zeus either sent an eagle or turned himself into an eagle to transport the youth to Mount Olympus. In Olympus, Zeus granted him eternal youth and immortality and the office of cupbearer to the gods, supplanting Hebe. All the gods were filled with joy to see the youth, except for Hera, Zeus's consort, who regarded Ganymede as a rival for her husband's affection. Zeus later put Ganymede in the sky as the constellation Aquarius, which is associated with that of the Eagle (Aquila). The myth was a model for the Greek social custom of paiderastía, the socially acceptable erotic relationship between a man and a youth.
