Myths and legends

In ancient Greek mythology, Zeus, the king of the gods, loved neither Hera, the queen of heaven, nor Princess Europa, who was lured into a bull by him. He loved Ganymede, a boy from Crete.

He turned into an eagle and took the beautiful boy away, and publicly showed his love to him on Olympus, causing Hera's jealousy, and designed to kill the beautiful boy and turn it into a water bottle. Zeus was heartbroken and sealed Ganymede's soul in the sky. This is the origin of Aquarius.
