Description
Hebe is hostile of Ganymede on principle, he’s the latest of her mother’s husband’s affront to their marriage and worst he’s been made immortal and given her position of Cup Bearer, not that she wanted the job back she just didn’t think the new side piece should get it. Ganymede does his best to be nice to her and respectful but she treats him with cold professionalismRelated content

Maybe the reason Zeus brought Ganymede up was because he saw him as a potential and ideal son-in-law, what do you think?

i seem to remember the story clearly, he was lovely and Zeus was smitten, he became Zeus house boy but its a lovely idea. The myth isn't too friendly but its queer and important to be reminded how sexuality was fluid for the Greeks

but not for the rape/kidnapping of Ganymede its one of the few stories where Zeus had some kind of sexual fluidity and Hera wasn't vengeful, win win.....
