The living story

The story so far

Zeus, as an eagle, seized the beautiful Trojan prince and bore him to Olympus; granted immortality and made him cupbearer, displacing Hebe. His image became Aquarius, the water-pourer, among the stars.

Happening now

He pours at every divine banquet, unaging, and the gods have stopped noticing the miracle — which is the highest compliment Olympus gives.

What may come

Troy fell, but Ganymede endures — the city's most beautiful export, still pouring. The Trojans' descendants toast him without knowing.
