Normally, when I start writing a song the first I would come up with is an idea for the chorus. But as for "Spartacus", "Europa", and now "Ganymede", where I'm telling stories, I've begun with the verses. So here are two more verses for Ganymede that complete the "historic" part:
...
the God cast an eye on him, the God fell in love
he abducted the boy and carried him off
in the guise of an eagle to his home in the height
to keep him as servant and make love in the night
beautiful horses as pay for the king
Hermes, God's messenger, the next day would bring
to placate the father, the ruler of Troy
that he'd never again would be seeing the boy
