This vintage Bud Ad’s for You: the Rape of Ganymede!

20120118-120626.jpg
In the classic Greek myth, the god Zeus assumes the form of an eagle to carry off the beautiful youth Ganymede and have his way with him sexually. A rapacious bunch, those old pagan deities! In the early 20th century, Anheuser-Busch adapted the story to advertise Budweiser. Kinky bunch, those old Victorian admen! This image circa 1904.

  1. Sorry, even that’s not enough to make me drink Bud.
