"Leda and the Swan" by W.B. Yeats (poetry)

The myth is that Zeus came to Leda in the form of a swan and fathered Helen of Troy. Leda is not always depicted as unwilling. It's a big subject and there's a lot of literature and artwork on the web.

I have a question can I use this for a school project? Its so great and I need examples of artists making stories from Greek mythology their own.

Funny how I like hearing poetry more than I like reading it. Not so funny how you have such a great voice.

A fine reading of one's of Yeats' most impressive and beautifully written poems. He gets a staggering amount into those few lines. Thank you.
