The cupbearer of Zeus
Aquarius is a young man pouring water from a jar. The most widespread myth identifies him with Ganymede, a prince of Troy. Zeus turned into an eagle, carried him to Olympus to serve the drink of the gods and gave him eternal youth. The constellation of the Eagle is right next to Aquarius. Other versions link him with Deucalion, who survived with his wife the flood Zeus sent to punish humankind.
In astrology it is an air sign, even though it carries water in its jar. Tradition links the sign with independence and a gaze set on the collective.
Myths come in several versions. This is one of the most widespread.
