This is the woman Leda and Zeus when he changed into a swan. Zeus, thinking Leda was beautiful turned himself into a swan, knowing Leda was faithful to her husband and wouldn’t cheat on him with a human looking person… Anyway, Leda gave birth to two eggs, both of which had two babies in them. One with two girls, one with two boys. One of the girls and one of the boys were Zeus’ kids, while the other two were her husband’s. Guess who Zeus’ daughter was? Helen!
