Description
Greek mythology is filled with several mortals with noticeable good looks. Some are more notable than others. There's Narcissus, who died thanks to his own beauty. There's Helen, whose beauty started a war. And, perhaps most famously, there's Adonis, reported to be the most beautiful man in the world, with the fact that two goddesses fought over him to back it up.

Then there's Ganymede.

What's his claim to fame? He was a Trojan prince that was so beautiful (described the "most beautiful of mortals") that *Zeus* fell in love with him on first sight, prompting the ruler of Olympus to kidnap the young prince and bring him to his mountainous abode to become his personal cupbearer. Thus making Ganymede immortal in the process - something Zeus never did for any of his other lovers, which should go to show how much he had the hots for Ganymede. ^^

From what I've read, there's been some debate over whether Zeus was romantically in love with Ganymede or not, but for *my* version, there's no question that Zeus was wings over tail in love with the young stag, who seemed to reciprocate the griffin's feelings... much to the chagrin of Hera.

I think for the queen of Olympus, this was the worst of all of her husband's infidelities. It was bad enough that he slept around on her. It was bad enough that she was forced to share her home with his illegitimate offspring. But this... this time, he was practically having an affair right in front of her very eyes. And with a teenage boy, no less!

Of all my couplings, Zeus and Ganymede are meant to be one of the more disturbing pairings... because there's roughly a 40 year age difference. That, and Ganymede was 14 when Zeus kidnapped him.
