About this artwork
A "unique and exceptional" discovery. The Archaeological Park of Pompeii reported the archaeological discovery of a fresco of the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan, among the ruins of this place, located in front of the Gulf of Naples in Italy. According to mythology, Leda, the wife of Tyndareus of Sparta, was walking along the Eurotas river when she was seduced or raped - it depends on the versions - by a swan, which was, after all, Zeus camouflaged.…
Leda then laid two eggs, from which four children were born: the twins Polux and Castor, Helena - the future wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta, and cause of the Trojan war - and Clitemnestra. But only Helen and Pollux were considered the children of Zeus and therefore immortal.
So I created the Leda (for it is my name)
