Ganymede (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Ganymede, or Ganymedes (Greek: Γανυμήδης, Ganumēdēs) is a divine hero whose homeland was the Troad. He was a Trojan prince, son of the eponymous King Tros of Dardania, and of Callirrhoe. Ganymede was the most handsome among mortals, by reason of which he was abducted to serve as cupbearer to the gods and as Zeus' beloved. For the etymology of his name, Robert Graves' The Greek Myths offers ganyesthai + medea, "rejoicing in virility."
