Character: ganymede
Ganymede is a minor god in Greek Mythology. He replaced Hebe, the goddess of youth in the role of cupbearer to the gods following her marriage to the legendary hero Herakles and is Greek God of Homosexuality.
Ganymede was a Trojan Prince who in his youth was made to be shepherd before his royal heritage was revealed. He was described by Homer as the most beautiful of the mortals and eventually caught the attention of the god Zeus king of the Olympians. Zeus fell in love with the adolescent boy and so, he transformed into a giant eagle and abducted the boy while he was watching his flock on Mount Ida. Zeus carried him up all the way to Mount Olympus and gave him immortality and eternal youth so that his beauty would never fade away.
Ganymede is famously Zeus's only male lover and his only mortal lover whom Zeus actively protected from the wrath of his wife Hera and granted immortality and godhood. The constellation Aquarius is also said to be Ganymede. Ganymede is also the name of one of the moons orbiting the planet Jupiter.
According to Plato however, Ganymede was not a real Greek God, but rather a myth created by the Cretans to justify their "unnatural pleasures" of pederasty, the social practice of adult males having sexual relationships with adolescent boys to teach them how to be a man. Which is now known as pedophilia and statutory rape.
