So for the mythologically challenged, this is Ganymede (the guy), and Hera (the girl). I know I've talked about Ganymede before, but as a refresher; Ganymede was basically Zeus' sex slave, notable for being the only male one. He was kidnapped by Zeus and then assigned to the pretty goddamn pointless job of "cupbearer" so that he could hang around Olympus with the gods and Zeus.
Hera, of course, is Zeus' wife, notorious in mythology for being (rightfully) jealous of all the people her hubby cheated on her with, including of course Ganymede, who LIVED WITH THEM.
In terms of this specific comic: I really want to bring Ganymede into our rp, but our rp is Underworld-based. How does Zeus' favorite Olympian find himself in the Underworld? By being pushed off Olympus by Zeus' wife, of course~
My headcanon for Ganymede is that he is immortal, but Zeus, fearing that he would run away from him, purposely altered his godhood so that he didn't get any of the normal teleportation & etc powers that are usually assigned to gods. So, uh. If he's stuck in the Underworld, he's stuck in the damn Underworld.
