Beschrijving
Leda and the Swan is based on a Roman copy of a work by Timotheus, a Greek sculptor of the 4th century BC and one of the rivals and contemporaries of Scopas of Paros. The subject comes from Greek mythology, in which the god Zeus appears to Leda in the form of a swan. According to later Greek myth, Leda bore Helen and Polydeuces, children of Zeus, as well as Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, King of Sparta. In some versions she laid two eggs from which the children hatched.
