Constellation myth

Aquarius is like a beautiful teenager Ganimod who is pouring wine from a bottle. It is said that he is the Prince of Troy. One day, when Zeus was herding sheep for his father, he fell in love with Ganimod as soon as he saw him.

Zeus turned into an eagle and took Ganymede to Mount Olympus (some versions say that Zeus sent an eagle to take Ganymede away). This eagle is Aquila, and Ganymede has since become a sober-up device around Zeus. Ganymede is the son of eos, the goddess of dawn. Zeus stole Ganymede as a wine bottle.

The identity of Aquarius is Du Kallion, who is one of the few people who can survive the flood of the Black Iron Age. Aquarius is Ropes, the founder of Athens, who once offered water to the gods.
