Description
Ganymede was a handsome Trojan prince selected by Zeus to be the god’s cup bearer. Once chosen, he was carried off by Zeus in the form of an eagle. Pliny describes a statue of the scene, but this Roman copy of the Greek original group is much damaged. Only part of the eagle is visible; the sculpture is heavily restored anyway, including most of the eagle, Ganymede’s legs, dog and pipes
