"Ganymed" is a notable work by the German artist Otto Greiner (1869–1916), who was an influential figure in the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements at the turn of the 20th century. The artwork, which is a fine example of Greiner's fascination with mythological themes and the human figure, depicts the ancient Greek myth of Ganymede, a young man of exceptional beauty who was abducted by Zeus in the form of an eagle to serve as the cupbearer of the gods on Mount Olympus.

Created in the early 1900s, "Ganymed" showcases Greiner's skill in printmaking, a medium for which he was particularly renowned. The piece is often characterized by its dynamic composition and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which serve to emphasize the sensuality and vulnerability of the youthful Ganymede as well as the power and majesty of the eagle. Greiner's work is known for its exploration of eroticism and the male nude, and "Ganymed" is a quintessential representation of these themes.

The artwork reflects the broader cultural interest in classical antiquity and the reinterpretation of ancient myths that was prevalent among artists and intellectuals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Ganymed" not only captures the aesthetic sensibilities of the period but also contributes to the discourse on beauty, desire, and the divine, which were central to Symbolist art and literature.

As a significant piece in Otto Greiner's oeuvre, "Ganymed" has been the subject of scholarly attention and has been exhibited in various galleries and museums that focus on Symbolist art. The work is often cited in discussions of Greiner's influence on the development of German art during a period of transition and experimentation.
