Greek A Trojan prince, great-grandson
of Dardanus, the founder of Troy. The god
Zeus, enraptured by the beauty of young Ganymede,
carried him off to Olympus to be a cupbearer to the
gods. Some say that Zeus took the form of an eagle
for this exploit; others that the god came as a wind
storm. There are many famed depictions of this
event. Ganymede is also the name of a moon of the
planet Jupiter.
