Ganymede is taken to his job in the heavens, bringing Zeus his wine, or mede, or whatever they drank up there. Zeus is the eagle, they've almost rerached the home of the gods, Ganymede's parents are terrified. A dig, seeing his master carried off, has begun to howl.
Try and see the marvellous etch by Rembrandt on the same subject: Ganymede pissing in full flight for fear of flying. Inv. 10568. Tarsus, last quarter of 3rd century AD.
