Author: Fernando Botero. Title of the Work: Leda and the Swan.

The myth of Leda and the swan, Greek mythology:

While Leda, wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta, was bathing in a pond near the Eurotas River, she was seduced and possessed by a swan of resplendent whiteness that claimed to be pursued by an eagle. That swan was Zeus, who with this deception conquered Leda without raising suspicions. As she lay with her husband that same night, she later gave birth to two eggs. In one of them were Helen and Pollux (children of Zeus and therefore immortal), and in the other Castor and Clytemnestra (mortals, children of the Spartan king). Castor and Pollux, twins, will become the famous Dioscuri (Διόσκουροι)
