Leda (Λήδα) is a character from ancient Greek mythology. According to Ovid, she had beautiful black hair and snow-white skin.
Daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius and Eurythemides, wife of the king of Sparta Tyndareus. Mentioned in the Iliad (III 384) and the Odyssey (XI 298)[9].
But not only Tyndareus was captivated by the beauty of Leda. Zeus himself coveted the queen of Sparta. Once on the river Eurotas, Leda saved a swan driven by an eagle from inevitable death. But it turned out that the swan is the reincarnated Zeus Eagle - Aphrodite, who helped him get close to the earthly beauty. Leda hid the swan, taking pity on him, on her knees, and fell asleep. Zeus possessed her during her sleep.
Leda laid two eggs and the fruit of their union was Polydeuces and Helen.
Some compare the name Leda with the name of the goddess Leto and explain it in the sense that initially Leda was the personification of the night, the mother of the luminaries.
