Ganymede is the name of a sculpture on the Bürkliterrasse, Zurich's Front Row Seat by the Lake, located on Bürkliplatz, a popular square on Lake Zurich. It is the central eye-catcher of the square, which was completed in 1887, with the Alpine panorama towering on the horizon. The sculpture was designed by the artist as the "Abduction to Olympus", unveiled by the City of Zurich in 1952 and owned by its Art Collection. The work shows the shepherd boy Ganymede who is facing the seated eagle (God the Father Zeus). He will be abducted by him to heaven and will serve there as cupbearer and bedmate.
