Looking at: Leda and the Swan
Whoa:
Out of nowhere, a swan appeared the park right near our home.
This lead to a google search for swan imagery, which lead to the above, which might have just lead to my latest obsession, just in time for spring break and a week of painting that I’m looking forward to more than I can even explain.
Swans. And teeth. Go on, do your worst on your interpretation of that, I dare you…

The swan is Zeus, the Greek God, and the woman is Leda. They make love and she gives birth to Helen of Sparta, to which she is born from an egg.

Leonardo gives her 2 sets of twins, Castor and Pollux , Helen and Clytemnestra. And Zeus-as-swan wears an expression of great satisfaction!
