IMHO one of the best sculputures in town. By Fernandes de Sá, a disciple of Teixeira Lopes. Honorable mention, Paris Salon, 1889. In Greek mythology, Ganymede was a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. He was the son of Tros of Dardania, from whose name \Troy\ was supposedly derived, and of Callirrhoe. According to the myth, he was abducted by Zeus, in the form of an eagle, to serve as cup-bearer in Olympus. Homer describes Ganymede as the most beautiful of mortals. The myth was a model for the Greek social custom of paiderastía, the socially acceptable erotic relationship between an adult male and an adolescent male. Previously placed at Praça da República this statue is now located next to a child playground. A playground of all places, for heaven's sake!
