Ganymede - Modern sources

Rosalind, a young woman in hiding, takes on the disguise of a man and the name of Ganymede in Shakespeare's comedy, As You Like It.

Ganymede is a reluctant music fan in Kurtis Blow's 1980 song Way Out West. After hours of rap by "The Stranger" (Kurtis), he eventually gets up to dance.

Ganymede from the real Greek mythology makes an appearance in K.A. Applegate's fantasy series Everworld (more precisely in Everworld VI: Fear the Fantastic), together with the god Dionysus. Ganymede is described as attracting both males and females.

My first thought, my first flash was that it was a beautiful woman.... The angel was beautiful, with a face dominated by immense, lustrous green eyes and framed by golden ringlets, and with a bow mouth and full lips and brilliant white teeth. And only then, only after I had felt that first rush of improbable carnal lust, did it occur to me that this angel was a man. (Everworld VI: Fear the Fantastic, page 50, by K.A. Applegate)
