Who is the daughter of Zeus and Leda?
It is commonly accepted that Helen is the daughter of Zeus and Leda. However, she is also the mother of Helen's twin Clytemnestra and twin brothers Castor and Pollux. Leda, the daughter of Aetolian king Thestius and wife of king Tyndareus of Sparta, was so admired by Zeus that he disguised himself as a swan to get near to her. He fell into her arms for protection from an eagle and their consummation, on the same night she slept with her husband, Tyndareus, resulted in two eggs. From these eggs hatched Helen, Clytemnestra, and Castor and Pollux. Though the four children's heritage pairings are debated, two things remain consistent: Pollux (or Polydeuces) is immortal and Helen is the daughter of Zeus. It is sometimes stated that his Castor is also the son of Zeus.
