Ganymede was a prince on the Prime somewhere (it’s rumoured that one of his successors was involved in the war started by Eris). But his beauty was such that he was spotted by Zeus, who swooped down in the form of an eagle and took him to Mount Olympus to be his servant and lover. As such, Ganymede represents the power of physical attraction, the benefits of dutiful service, and also the sheer power of Zeus, who is amongst the greatest of all gods, that he can raise a mortal up to godhead for his own desires. Of course, being a wild and a passionate deity, it’s no surprise that Zeus would be most motivated by love and attraction. Ganymede is on good terms with all the non-evil Olympians, except for Hera. He has little time for Ares and Hecate, whose posturing and respectively macho and bitchy pretensions go right against his own mild-mannered character.
