A series called “Ganymede and the the Olympians”
The story of Ganymede is simple, he was a Trojan Prince who was abducted by the God Zeus for he was the most beautiful mortal in creation, Ganymede was tending sheep when he was whisked off to the Heavens, myths town down the whole affair and focus on the privilege he gained by becoming the cup bearer for the gods but there is more to the story than that. Ganymede was abducted by a lecherous married man and forced into servitude, he’s depicted as a symbol of homosexual love allowed in ancient Greece. He’s credited with being the only mortal conquest of Zeus to gain immortality and ascend to the heavens, but he was kidnapped and forced.Â
Interaction 1: Ganymede and Hebe
  Hebe is hostile of Ganymede on principle, he’s the latest of her mother’s husband’s affront to their marriage and worst he’s been made immortal and given her position of Cup Bearer, not that she wanted the job back she just didn’t think the new side piece should get it. Ganymede does his best to be nice to her and respectful but she treats him with cold professionalism
Interaction  2: Ganymede and the Queen
  Now Hera utterly despises Ganymede more than the other mortals because not only is he male but Zeus granted him eternal youth and life, she will have to endure him for the whole of eternity. She treats him with cold indifference and generally ignores him, should she need something she has Hebe, or Iris not wanting to have to deal with any of Zeus’ retinue, she has a glimmer of sympathy for boy as his fate is actually quite said, to go from a prince to a cup bearer and never see his family again. However she shows non of that sympathy other than in her thoughts. Ganymede has had a crush on Hera since he first was abducted to Olympus, though he would never do anything about it, he always steals looks at her. Truly he feels very guilty about being on Olympus as Zeus’ play thing, he feels sorry that Hera must endure his company and even understands why she ignores him most of the time. He wishes to see her smile.
Interaction 3: Ganymede and his Master
  Zeus was enamored by Ganymede,he was like no other lover he had experience and truly it was a new experience for the playboy of the gods, so he granted him immortality and eternal youth, he dotes on Ganymede but like a spoiled child, Zeus fails to notice how sad Ganymede is in his current predicament. He has tried relentlessly to wooh Ganymede and though he does at times allow the advances Zeus doesn’t see how his selfish desire hurts Ganymede who feels like nothing more than a plaything. Ganymede, though he does have a thing for the King of the Gods, he does not easily allow the advances of the lord of the Sky to come through. He resents Zeus for the kidnapping and subsequent servitude he has been placed in. He’s not grateful and he was angry for a whole two centuries which is a long time for a God, he had to stand and watch as Troy fell as his dad had to accept horses as payment for his son. Ganymede finally understood what it was like to a woman in the ancient world, like you were some piece of property to be ogled and coveted. He was nothing more than  plaything to Zeus and worst of all he was constant affront to Hera’s marriage to the King and though Zeus could be sweet he was still a child and he resented his position. For him this was a curse for he was not even able to fall in love lest he incur the wrath of the King.
