Zeus came back to the city of Troy, and when the Trojan prince was alone, Zeus turned into a big eagle, and when the prince wasn't looking, he grabbed the prince and returned to the gods.
When the Trojan prince came to the realm of the gods, Zeus asked him to take the place of the injured girl and pour wine for Zeus, so the prince had no choice but to stay in the realm of the gods.
The prince missed his hometown and his family, and the king of Troy also missed the prince and wondered where he had gone. Zeus felt ashamed and couldn't bear to see the prince losing weight day by day, so he sent a dream to the king, telling him how the prince was in the world of gods. In order to comfort the king, he gave him a few divine horses as a consolation.
And Zeus also let the prince go back to Troy to see the king, and then come back to the world of the gods to do the job of pouring wine for Zeus, and the Trojan prince from then on became a water bottle in the sky, and was responsible for pouring wine for Zeus.
