In classical Greek mythology, Leda was the daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius and the wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta.
The legend says that Leda was seduced and then raped by Zeus, who took the form of a swan. On the same day, she was also with her husband, King Tyndareus.
Leda bore four children: Helen (later Helena of Troy) and Polydeuces by Zeus, and Castor and Clytemnestra by her husband.
