When Zeus, King of gods, came down like an eagle, he was captivated by the beauty of the young man. He wanted to take’ Ganymede to Mount Olympus, the Home of Greek Gods.
So, he snatched him with his claws and brought him back to Mount Olympus. He made him the cupbearer of the Greek God and goddess. His father, Tros, was not happy that Zeus took Ganymede from him. Instead, Zeus reimbursed the loss by sending a messenger with some beautiful horses.
The horses compensated for the loss of the father. He felt proud and happy that his son became the cupbearer of immortals. After some time, Zeus must have had enough of Ganymedes. That was the time when Zeus put him in the stars, and that’s what became the constellation Aquarius.
