User blog:LemonFairy/Oh yes, I adore Greek mythology...

So, I was doing a bit more research on things regarding my main character for The Demigod Diaries (yeah, shameless self-promotion); Erin's mother ends up being Hebe, goddess of youth and former cup-bearer to the gods. I never paid much attention to Ganymede's page (Ganymede replaced Hebe as cup-bearer to the gods) but I finally decided to read over it.

The gist is that Hebe, a woman/goddess, was cup-bearer. Then Zeus got hot for Ganymede -- who, might I note, wasn't Greek -- and turned himself into an eagle in order kidnap him (Ganymede); Zeus then kicked Hebe out and made Ganymede cup-bearer before taking Ganymede as a lover.

Oh yes, I adore Greek mythology. The lulz to be had.

[Also, Hebe's name has two circumflexes over it... and I'm not entirely sure whether to include them, because I've only seen them a few times... Ah well...]
