Aquila is mentioned in many cultures and it is for the most part portrayed as a bird. In Hinduism, the stars are attributed to the half-eagle deity, Garuda. Then for ancient Egypt, they saw Aquila as the falcon of Horus, god of kingship and the sky.
For the Greeks, Aquila carried Zeus' thunderbolts, but a story speaks of the eagle bringing the shepherd boy, Ganymede, to Olympus because Zeus desired him. There are some texts that tie the constellation Aquarius to Ganymede, if that means anything to you.
The last one I know is a love story.
