Ganimede

Speranza

The "Iliad" mentions Ganymede twice.

In Book V, Diomedes is speaking of the horses of Aeneas:

"There are of the strain which Zeus of the wide brows
granted onto to Tros,
RECOMPENSE FOR HIS SON GANIMEDE,
and therefore are the finests of all horses."

---

The second instance is in Book XX, when Aeneas sets fort his genealogy for Achilles:

TROS, lord of the Trojans.

TO TROS there were born THREE SONS unfaulted.

ILOS,
ASSARCUS
and godlike GANIMEDE
--- who was the loveliest born of the race of mortals, and therefore Zeus caught him away to himself, to be his wine-pourer, for the sake of his beauty.

(In his genealogy, Enea mentions two other men who were loved by gods).
