Ganymede Ascending to Heaven
This is a sculpture located in Austerlitz Castle Park, depicting scenes of Jupiter and Ganymede. Jupiter embraced Ganymede and led him to heaven. At his feet was Cupid, with a quiver filled with arrows of love, and an eagle holding a beam of lightning in its claws. This statue carved from sandstone was created by Giovanni Giuliani in 1702. Jupiter is the main god in Roman mythology, in charge of the sky and thunder. Ganymede was the prince of Troy, chosen by Jupiter to become the god of wine among the gods, and thus transformed into an eagle and brought to heaven by Jupiter. Cupid is the goddess of love in Roman mythology, and his arrows can make people fall in love.
