Its all ganymedes over here!
Info about this blog:
β this is my sideblog where i post anything related to ganymede from greek mythology. Iv wanted to make a blog centered around a character for a long time, and recently i fell into ganymedes madness, so naturally, i mades this blog
"Wait, who is Ganymedes??"
β From the website theoi: "GANYMEDES was a handsome Trojan prince who was carried off to heaven by Zeus in the shape of an eagle where he was appointed as cup-bearer of the gods. Ganymedes was also placed amongst the stars as the constellation Aquarius, his ambrosial mixing cup as Crater, and the eagle as Aquila. Ganymedes was often portrayed as the god of homosexual love and as such appears as a playmate of the love-gods Eros (Love) and Hymenaios (Hymenaeus) (Marital Love)."
Beside the greek mythology ganymede, i also post about:
β‘ The deity: I dont practice hellenic polytheism in the technical sense these days, but i sill share any deity work for those who do, since Ganymede worship seems to be not as popular
β‘ The moon ganymedes: ganymedes is an icy moon of Jupiter and is the largest moon in the solar system, named after the greek mythology character
β‘ aquarius constellations: from the wbesite space: "Aquarius is a constellation in the Western Zodiac and one of 88 official constellations according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The constellation describes a large group of stars that ancient Greek astronomers saw as a picture in the night sky. Aquarius was said to represent a "cup bearer" or "water bearer," which is what its name means in Latin." The constellations is based off Ganymedes and his myth
β‘ Oc: i have an oc based off the zodiac/greek myth aquarius (along with the rest of the zodiacs, i have a story about the zodiacs that is part of a bigger story but thats not importin rn haha) so i might post him here, thought honestly i dont like posting oc stuff that often so idk
β‘ literally anything: anything that reminds me of Ganymedes i will post/reblog here
