In Greek mythology, Leda was the queen of Sparta and the wife of King Tyndareus. She is best known for her role in the mythological story involving Zeus, who disguised himself as a swan to seduce her. According to myth, Leda was bathing in a river when Zeus, in the form of a swan, approached her and seduced her. As a result of this union, Leda laid two eggs, from which hatched four children: Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra (the daughters), and Castor and Pollux (the sons).
These children had both mortal and divine parentage, as Castor and Clytemnestra were born from Leda's union with Tyndareus, while Pollux and Helen were Zeus's offspring. Leda's story is often portrayed in art and literature, symbolizing both the complexities and divine interventions inherent in Greek mythology, particularly in tales involving gods interacting with mortal humans.
