    http://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/Ganymedes.html

    "GANYMEDES (Ganymede) was a handsome Trojan prince who was carried off to heaven by Zeus in the shape of an eagle where he was appointed as cup-bearer of the gods. Ganymedes was also placed amongst the stars as the constellation Aquarius, his ambrosial mixing cup as Crater, and the eagle as Aquila. Ganymedes was often portrayed as the god of homosexual love and as such appears as a playmate of the love-gods Eros (Love) and Hymenaios (Hymenaeus) (Marital Love)."

    My guess is he wants a genuinely homosexual character, whose not just some fandom joke. Why, I don't know and could only speculate, but that seems to be the big and small of it. Why he insists on male-Stheno/Euryale instead of someone who could actually be badass (there's got to be at least a few gay Heroic Spirits on the Throne) is anyone's guess.

    What problem? If the Japanese can wish, I can too. That is the meaning of my text.

    Patroclus?

    Ganymede has no relevant achievements in life, but as a servant of the Rider class, he could have powerful Noble Phantasms.

    Aetos Dios is one of these ... It could easily be one of the most powerful Divine Beasts of the Age of the Greek Gods.

    And thank you for understanding. A Gay character would be cool.

    In this chapter he was extremely genki (even Mashu noted this several times) and his mental capability was on par with Babylonia chapter.
    I've seen a theory that Surtr's nature is close to Four, because Surtr was given a divine construct made by the planet to wipe out Norse gods, making him a sort of Primate (gods) Murder. So they kinda resonate with each other.

    She barely did anything in the chapter tho, just being there talking shit. While in Russia she directly stood b4 them and we've seen no reactions.

    Your wish will have a slightly higher chance of coming true if they ever make Vishnu gay/okama. But for now I would say nah no way.

    I understand. I've waited a long time, waiting a little longer will not make any difference.

    I dread the day Penny finds out Achilles in Chaldea and turns into a tsundere. Or worse, a moeblob.

    He said she was pretty once. That's true love, obviously.

    That she wants to kill him is entirely irrelevant.

    All correct up to the "cup bearer of the gods" part.

    EDIT:Actually scratch that, I don't remember the myth specifying the Trojan part.
    EDIT 2: Wikipedia corroborates that Homer said so, so I guess the Trojan part is actually true.

    This site is more complete than Wikipedia. This part you mentioned is also on the Wiki.

    He replaces the Hebe Youth Goddess of his role.

    Not that Wikipedia is 100% trustworthy, but I trust random sites that cite no sources on their articles even less.

    Considering even the Ancient Greeks themselves disagreed on whether Ganymedes was Zeus' eromenos or not (per Xenophontos' Socrates), it's rather dubious he would be worshipped as a god of homosexuality, no?

    I'm not gonna talk about servants because it's been discussed a lot.

    best character is still Director, and Munier is bit suspicious now.

    also that ending. Kinoko dropped the bomb again, it's all according to keikaku.
    He likes Astolfo, he can't be evil.

    Not everything is 100% accurate in Mythologies (there are several versions of a myth) and it does not have to be, at least not in the Franchise.
