Strange and Interesting myths about swan
Swans feature
strongly in mythology. In Greek
mythology, the story of Leda and the
Swan recounts that Helen of Troy was conceived in
a union of Zeus disguised as a
swan and Leda, Queen of Sparta. Other references in classical literature include the belief that upon
death the otherwise-silent mute swan would sing
beautifully—hence the phrase swan song; as well as Juvenal's sarcastic reference to a good woman being a "rare bird, as rare
on earth as a black swan", from which we get the Latin phrase rara avis, rare bird. The mute swan is also one of the
sacred birds of Apollo, whose associations stem both from the nature of
the bird as a symbol of light as well as the notion of a "swan song".
The god is often depicted riding a chariot pulled by or composed of swans in
his ascension from Delos.
The Irish legend of the Children of
Lir is about a stepmother transforming her children into swans for 900
years. In the legend The Wooing of Etain, the king of
the Sidhe (subterranean-dwelling, supernatural
beings) transforms himself and the most beautiful woman in Ireland, Etain, into
swans to escape from the king of Ireland and Ireland's armies. The swan has
recently been depicted on an Irish
commemorative coin.
