Some moments from October weekends, studying in cafés, exploring, book sales!!! Struggling to get in the spirit of autumn, but cosy study sessions with coffee and pastries definitely helps~~~

LEDA

[noun]

Greek mythology: the daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius, and wife of the king Tyndareus (Τυνδάρεως) of Sparta. Her myth gave rise to the popular motif in Renaissance and later art of Leda and the Swan. She was the mother of Helen (Ἑλένη) of Troy, Clytemnestra (Κλυταιμνήστρα), and Castor and Pollux (Κάστωρ καὶ Πολυδεύκης, also spelled Kastor and Polydeuces). Leda was admired by Zeus, who seduced her in the guise of a swan.

Etymology: Greek Λήδα.
