Hebe and Hercules

You may think I was Hercules' first wife, but I was actually his second. When Dejanira died, that is Hercules ex-wife, he went into a depressed mode and almost killed himself. His step-mom named Juno disowned him from the family and gave him to me. The usual story is that I resigned from my office on becoming the wife of Hercules. But there is another statement which our countryman Crawford, the sculptor, has adopted in his group of me and Ganymede, now in the Athenaeum gallery. According to this, I was dismissed from my office in consequence of a fall which I met with one day when in attendance on the gods. My successor was Ganymede, a Trojan boy, whom Jupiter, in the disguise of an eagle, seized and carried off from the midst of his play–fellows on Mount Ida, bore up to heaven, and installed in the vacant place. And today we are sort of estranged, I believe because we were put together.
