Beautiful Art or Artist’s thinly disguised fetishisation

it's a scene from Greek mythology and the subject of several paintings. the swan is Zeus in disguise. Leda later laid an egg, and from it hatched Helen of Troy

Thanks! I remembered the Greek gods kinda banging everyone and often as non humans but completely missed that this was Helen's lineage.

Yep and never in any of my classics courses did I go "I should spend tens of hours creating my rendition of them fucking."

Do Swans have the corkscrew dicks that ducks are famous for? Would explain the chick's grin.
