Ganymede was the son of the first king of classic Troy and tended sheep on Mount Ida's slopes. One day, Jupiter saw the handsome boy and changed into an eagle. He swooped down and carried Ganymede off to Olympus to serve as the gods' cupbearer. Homer describes Ganymede as the most beautiful of all mortals.
