    Buckle up for one of the most infamous - and lesser-known - gay couples in Greek mythology: Zeus and Ganymede, originators of the divine Daddy-Twink dichotomy. We'll discover what these myths tell us about ancient Greek homosexuality IRL, and how they provided much-needed PR for the complex reality between mortal sheets.
