Extrait du document

Greek The daughter of King Thestius of Aetolia; wife of Tyndareus, king of Sparta. She was the mother of the twin brothers Castor and Polydeuces (Pollux in Latin; see Castor and Pollux), known by the joint name of the Dioscuri; and of Helen and Clytemnestra. According to one myth, Leda mated with the god Zeus, who had disguised himself as a swan. Leda then laid an egg from which Helen and Polydeuces emerged. Castor and Clytemnestra arrived by normal delivery and were said to be the children of Tyndareus.
