* Zeus, the King of the Gods, was infatuated with a beautiful woman named Ganymede. Zeus wanted Ganymede to be his cupbearer, so he sent his eagle to kidnap Ganymede and bring him to Mount Olympus.
* To honor the eagle's service, Zeus placed the eagle in the sky as the constellation Aquila. This constellation is visible in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer months.
