ZEUS AND GANYMEDES

.
"And godlike Gandymede, most beautiful

Of men; the gods beheld and caught him up

To heaven, so beautiful was he, to pour

The wine to Jove, and ever dwell with them."

Homer

.
"There, too, flushed Ganymede, his rosy thigh

Half buried in the eagle's down,

Sole as a flying star shot through the sky

Above the pillared town."

Tennyson
