The Seduction of Ganymede
After Wilhelm Böttner 1790-1800
Zeus, seated on eagle, embraces Ganymede with wine jug. How did this happen? The “stare decisis” (legal precedent) was set when this myth was first told by the Greeks. The Romans copied the story so the Latin form of the name Ganymēdēs was Catamitus, from which the English word “catamite” derives.
