The myth of Leda and the swan tells how the Greek god Zeus assumed the form of a swan and seduced the beautiful mortal princess Leda. she produced two eggs, from which hatched two sets of twins Helen (later known as Hele of Troy) and Clytemnestra, the Creator and Pollux. Leonardo’s depiction focuses more on fertility than sex, instead of pianting the seduction scene, as other had done, he chose to portray the moment of the births, showing Leda caressing the swan as the four children sequim from their shells. . . . .
