A face to launch a thousand sips! 
Ganymede was a Trojan prince who was taken by Zeus to Mount Olympus to be the new cupbearer of the Gods.
History
Hebe, daughter of Zeus and Hera, was the cupbearer of the Gods before him, until one day she tripped and spilled the ambrosia, food that gives youth and eternal life to the immortals, provoking the mockery of the other Gods. Zeus then looked for someone else to replace her, searching the Earth until he came across the charming Prince Ganymede of Troy flying a kite with his friends on top of a hill, snatching him to Olympus in the form of an eagle. The Olympian Gods were mesmerized by the young man's beauty and charm, and he quickly learned from Zeus how to pick nectarines and make the divine nectar.[1]
A year later he visited his desolate parents, the King and Queen of Troy, who until then did not know what had happened to him. After explaining everything to them, his parents held a festival to celebrate their son's ascension to Olympus, bringing pride to the people of Troy. But before the parents knew it, Zeus in eagle form had quickly taken him back to the home of the Gods, Ganymede's divine chariot being left behind as a gift.[1]
