Information About

Tros




When Zeus abducted Ganymedes, Tros grieved for his son. Sympathetic, Zeus sent Hermes with two horses so swift they could run over water. Hermes also assured Tros that Ganymede was immortal and would be the cupbearer for the gods, a position of much distinction.

In variant versions Ganymede is son of Laomedon son of Ilus son of Tros.

It was from Tros that the Dardanians were called Trojan s and the land named the Troad .
