This lovely painting shows Leda and the swan (Zeus in disguise), with her twin sons Castor and Pollux, newly hatched, offering her a bouquet of flowers. It is unclear just how much of this painting was conceived by Leonardo da Vinci; you can read more about that here at AncientWorlds.net. Here is a depiction of Leda and the swan in the form of a sculpture.
