Leda and the Swan

                                                  Leda and the Swan

               After reading the poem, I am really confused. I am not able to tell what the poem really represents. Then I Google it. The poem was written by William Butler Yeats, and it comes from a famous Greek mythology. Leda is a beautiful woman who is the wife of Tyndareus, the King of Sparta. Zerus falls in love with leda because of her beauty. Zeus came to Leda in the form of a swan, and he raped or seduced Leda. Leda laid two eggs from which the children hatched. One of the eggs bore Helen and Polydeuces whose father is Zeus, and the other one born Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband.  The famous Trojan War has its roots in Helen. Agamemnon, who is the capital of the Greek, was murdered by his wife and her lover when he returned from the battle field.
