JOIN US! Every Monday, we announce a theme & pin it here. You toot a story from world mythology and tag it #MythologyMonday (tag us too to make sure we see it). We boost it!

Your toot can be on- or off-theme, but do tell the gist of the story in the body of your toot (we don't boost toots that contain only teasers or promos).

I'm a little late for (and are swans domesticated? idk), but there's always room to talk about that one time Zeus turned into a swan and impregnated the Queen of Sparta (Leda), right?!

As a result of superfecundation, Leda has quadruplets: Pollux & Castor () and Helen (yes, that Helen) & Clytemnestra.

@starrytimepod Swans count, though I don't know if their eggs are very popular? In Europe, they are mostly kept for their beauty.

Bladud, the mythic wizard-king of Britain, supposedly discovered healing hot springs at the future location of the city of Bath. He believed the hot springs had been created by the Brythonic Celtic goddess Sulis (equated with Athena/Minerva), and so built temples to her.
