Leda and the Swan is a Greek myth in which Zeus, the king of the gods, transforms into a swan to seduce or assault Leda, the queen of Sparta. As a result of their encounter, Leda lays two eggs, from which four children are born: Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, and the twins Castor and Pollux. The myth explores themes of divine power, transformation, and the complex dynamics between gods and mortals. Over time, it has been depicted in various works of art and literature, often highlighting the tension between the myth's violent undertones and its miraculous consequences.
