Greek Mythology

Ahlam Ben Saga in The Lark

A marble statue depicting Ganymede, the beautiful youth from Greek mythology, serving Zeus in the form of an eagle. Ganymede is shown kneeling with a cup in his hand, offering it to the eagle, while holding a jug in the other hand. The eagle, Zeus in disguise, leans forward to drink from the cup. The statue showcases intricate details, particularly in the folds of Ganymede’s cap and the feathers of the eagle. The scene highlights the myth in which Ganymede, abducted by Zeus, serves as cupbearer.
