And Minerva—
“Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control.”
But Venus—
“I promise thee
The fairest and most loving wife in Greece.”
[2:9.] Ganymede. A Trojan prince; was carried off to Olympus by Jupiter’s eagle. He was made cup-bearer to the gods in place of Hebe, daughter of Juno.
“And godlike Ganymede, most beautiful
Of men; the gods beheld and caught him up
To heaven, so beautiful was he, to pour
The wine to Jove, and ever dwell with them.”
