About the Item
Classical mythology is fraught with stories of sexual misdeeds by Zeus, King of the Gods. Often Zeus would fall in love with a mortal woman and then transform himself into an animal before acting on his desires. These have been recreated by many masters though the millennia. Here, Reuben Nakian masterfully, yet tastefully, recreates the tale of Leda and the Swan. Zeus, disguised as a swan, seduces Leda who later gives birth to the famous Helen of Troy and Pollux as a result.
