GANYMEDE
Greek legendary mortal
Also known as Ganymedes
Cupbearer to the Gods and original gay icon
He was a beautiful youth who became a firm favorite around Olympus, and not just for bearing cups. Zeus in particular was extremely fond of him in a way which made Hera mad with jealousy.
After a while it became clear that Ganymede was causing something of a stir. He was out, he was proud and he was not sneaking around in women’s clothing in fear of being found out.
The newly-fledged homosexual community was delighted with this vindication from on high and gay mortals seized him to their breast. So to speak.
