THE ORIGIN OF THE MYTH: LEDA AND THE SWAN

Teaching the love for animals: A divinely beautiful 25 years old Lady, laying in a very light veil loincloth like a Tiziano Vecellio's Venus, with long waving honey-blond hair spread on the pillows of a large royal bed, keeps on her knees a magnificent big majestic swan, with golden beak and golden feet, and she, looking at him with love, kisses him on the golden beak, while, behind the bed-canopy curtains, we see a calm landscape enlighten by the full moon.
