Step 3: In Greek myth, Ganymede was a beautiful Trojan boy who was abducted by Zeus to serve as his lover and personal cupbearer. Discuss what humor is derived from the sexual ambiguity of Rosalind/Ganymede’s interaction with Orlando and Phoebe in the forest. Address two scenes in which this humor is especially heightened. All posts should be thorough and clear, incorporating quotes from the text of the play to support your points. Step 4: Respond to at least two of your peers.
