Ganymede - Mythology. 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.
