Eh, I'm not surprised about Ganymede. I'm just saying, in ancient Greece, if you weren't coupling up with sexy young men at least once, you were one of the weird ones. And there is no denying this one's a beauty~ Mm=hm~
Besides, come on, when you're an ageless immortal being, year differences stop mattering after the first half-century.

Hey, I follow the same logic indeed, mate... and ooh, fair enough... but hey, if Ganymede's into it, nothing wrong with shacking up with an older man.

Maybe not, but Ganymede was 15 when he was kidnapped by the 55-year-old Zeus. ^^

Different standards for different times, mate. I mean, catamites... yeah, enough said. If anything, 15 was late. Besides, if you told me this hot hunk was 15 at the time of this pic (he probably isn't, but for comedy's sake, just go with me here), I think that'd be enough to at least make me consider whipping out the chloroform.

It is a comedic statement of basically saying that he looks older. That's the joke. Don't read too much into it.

I did not that much, but I'll keep it in mind. It's most entertaining.

Did not expect you to include Ganymede and in this fashion, no less.......
You are clearly going all out for your story. BTW, will this be a written fanfic or something?

Neither did I. But inspiration struck. xD
Aw, thank you, yeah, it's been a long journey so far... and promises to go on for even longer. ^^ But it's not a fanfiction, its an original story that just so happens to feature characters based off the Greek myths. It'll be typed out like a regular story.

Awwww, thank you so much, buddy! I actually didn't plan on Ganymede being a deer... in fact, I didn't plan on including his character at all... till a certain bit of inspiration struck. I won't be giving any spoilers on this, though. Believe it or not, it's too complicated.
But oooh yes, Ganymede is indeed destined to become, as you put it, even more gorgeous as an adult. Huh. And maybe you're right, maybe Zeus did realize what the young stag would grow up to be. And besides, my version of Zeus is one of those "take what I want" types, and he's also not one to pass up on something beautiful. So yeah. Ganymede's fate was set in stone the moment the griffin set his eyes on him.
Again, awwww, thank you very much, dude! Yeah, I was real pleased when I drew this. I had already gone through *several* poses and body types and drew two other (unsatisfying) versions before landing on this one. I already knew I wanted him to be one of those "slim but fit" types. He's not supposed to be a hunk, but he's not supposed to be a twig either. Heh-heh, glad you like his eyes, though. Originally I didn't intend to give him long eyelashes either, until I remembered I did that for the Erotes. So I figured, why not see how it looks? Turned out, it gave him the look I was going for.
And you BET it was Zeus' idea to have Ganymede wear as little as possible! ROFL!
Ooooooooooooh! Lucky Mena! ;D
It'll be a surprise. Thank you again!

I read that one version actually did have them both as cup-bearers. It's just that Ganymede was Zeus' personal cup-bearer.
Well, Zeus was known to have disguised himself as Hades to bed Persephone - who is Zeus' own daughter. And some legends had Zeus bed down with Aphrodite, who was also his daughter in some legends (when she's not descended from the genitals of Uranus). And of course Zeus also slept with Hera and Demeter, both of whom are his sisters. So it's not too out of the realm of possibility for Zeus to share a lover with another one of his daughters.
