Greek mythology from A to Z:

[L] - Leda (Λήδα) was a princess, daughter of the king of Aetolia, Thestius. She was the wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta.

When Zeus saw Leda, he fell in love with her. He transformed into a swan and appeared in front of her; he seduced her and slept with her. On that night, Leda also lay with her husband. As a result, she became impregnated by both Zeus and Tyndareus. From two eggs, two sets of twins were born; the first set was Helen and Clytemnestra; and the other was Castor and Pollux.
