The eagle, with its imposing presence, symbolizes Jupiter's power and his desire for Ganymede.
Peter Paul Rubens surprises by using this story with profane humor:
the position of Ganymede and that of the quiver full of his arrows leaves no one indifferent!
So it seems that the painting was not intended to be seen by a mixed and educated public.
…
... it should be remembered that Ganymede aroused the jealousy of Juno (or Hera to the Greeks),
and Jupiter was immediately ordered to return the young man to his earthly condition.
There's no way I'm keeping him in Olympus! Oh no, this!
So Jupiter hesitated between throwing him into a dark, earthly place,
or .... but yes, it's much better that way! place it definitively in the sky of constellations!

Eagle in Christian art
is associated with Saint John the Evangelist.
This connection stems from the eagle's soaring flight and ability to look directly at the sun,
mirroring the theological depth and spiritual heights explored in John's Gospel.
The painting is based on Ezekiel's vision described in the Book of the Prophet,
where God appears to him in the midst of a storm.
God is surrounded by two angels and the four living creatures,
symbolic beings of the Evangelists or tetramorphs.
a man - generally identified with the evangelist Matthew,
a winged lion - Mark,
a winged ox - Luke
and
an eagle capable of contemplating the sun, chosen to symbolize John's ability
to contemplate the divine nature
Ezekiel places the creatures in a specific spatial arrangement:
the man and the eagle at the top and the lion and the ox at the bottom.

This work idealizes the Prince's face and body
when, in fact, he was born with grave physical and psychological malformations
that may have been due to his parents' inbreeding.
Jupiter and an eagle carrying the column of Hercules have been interpreted
as an allegory of Philip II, who, like the god of Antiquity,
is proud of his son, the new Hercules - hence the column - destined to inherit the Hispanic monarchy.
