Leda and swan common in Pompeii

ROME (AP) — Archaeologists have found in an ancient Pompeii bedroom a fresco depicting a sensual scene of a goddess and swan.

Pompeii archaeological park director Massimo Osanna told Italian news agency ANSA on Monday that the figure of goddess Leda being impregnated by a swan representing Roman god Jupiter is a fairly common theme in Pompeii home decoration.

Swan impregnating Leda “is a fairly common theme in Pompeii home decoration.”

Good Roman citizens raised kids in a city with images of a swan fornicating with a woman, intent that the kids become good Romans. The parents were successful.
