Ganymede

"Hi, this is Ganymede, cup-bearer to Zeus, and when I'm out buying wine for the Lord of the Skies, I always buckle up!"

- Ganymede

Ganymede  was a Trojan prince, and a very attractive mortal, which led Zeus to abduct him, in the form of an eagle, to serve as cup-bearer to the gods, replacing Hebe, the goddess of youth. He was seen as the god of homosexual love and desire and was also a playmate of Eros.

History
Ganymede was once a prince and a hero of Troy. he was the son of Tros and Dardania. But one day he was abducted by the Lord of the Sky from Mount Ida while Ganymede was tending a flock of sheep. Zeus saw him and fell in love with him, either sending an eagle or turning himself into an eagle to transport Ganymede to Mount Olympus.
