But they nonetheless imply that Ganymede was abducted by Zeus to serve as his cupbearer and lover. The Greek sources are not really clear on this point. Zeus did not only abduct Ganymede to serve as a simple cupbearer. Now Ganymede was not simply replacing Hebe, but, as Nonnus – the Roman author of Dionnysaica – wrote, he was offending the goddess by pouring Nectar with human hands!īut there is more. Well, the previous cupbearer of the gods was Hebe, Hera’s daughter. Ovid writes that Ganymede came to Olympus “against Juno’s (Hera’s) will”. Ganymede’s ascension did not please everyone. In fact, according to Xenophon’s Symposium, Ganymede was the only one of Zeus’ lovers to be ever granted immortality! There are not many amongst Zeus’ lovers who were chosen to live on Olympus amongst the immortals. 1851, Museum of Fine Arts BostonĪlthough Zeus is well-known for his multiple affairs, Ganymede is a unique case. Yet, then again, this is a neglectable detail within the context of a story where an eagle abducts a boy to a neverland on top of a mountain where no one ever grows old. In any case, Zeus ensured that the father would be happy with the arrangement, even though it is unimaginable that anyone would happily trade their son for two horses or a golden vine. Besides, the gift is in some versions presented by Zeus himself and in others by Hermes. Although the above excerpt, mentioned that Zeus gave Ganymede’s father two horses of incomparable beauty, other sources mention a golden vine. Still, the god understood that he had to offer something to compensate for taking the son away from the family. And at the command of Zeus, the Guide, the slayer of Argus, told him all, and how his son would be deathless and unageing, even as the gods.”Īccording to the Hymn, Zeus took care to let Ganymede’s father know that his son was now walking among the gods blessed with the gift of immortality. “But grief that could not be soothed filled the heart of Tros for he knew not whither the heaven-sent whirlwind had caught up his dear son, so that he mourned him always, unceasingly, until Zeus pitied him and gave him high-stepping horses such as carry the immortals as recompense for his son. According to the Homeric Hymn To Aphrodite: His parents must have been terribly worried. If we rethink Ganymede’s myth up to this point, we will realize that he disappeared from earth abducted by an eagle, without warning or trace.

The induction of Ganymede in Olympus, Van Loo, 1767, Neues Palais in Potsdam, via Wikimedia Commons Zeus also offered to make Ganymede an immortal, blessed with eternal youth, serving in the banquets of the gods forever. There, he was welcomed by Zeus who presented him with an unprecedented offer, to become his cupbearer that is to pour the divine drink called nectar, into Zeus’ and the other gods’ cups. Zeus transformed himself into or sent an eagle and abducted the unsuspected Ganymede who was brought to Olympus. In particular, Zeus, the usual suspect of almost every Greek myth related to seduction and rape, decided that Ganymede was too perfect to walk the earth.
