| Description |
English: If anybody suspected academic nudes of being nothing more than an excuse for classy porn, this statue might be all the proof they're looking for. Yeah, she not only slept with Zeus in the form of a swan, but also her husband the same night, and in due course gave birth to a fine clutch of eggs. Read the whole shocking exposé right here.
I'm still kicking myself for not telling the museum staff, "Take me to your Leda". I mean, it's not as if they'll have ever heard that one before, is it? Orientations in the titles are based on "front" being toward the front of her torso as seen from ground level. Otherwise "front" woud be overhead, and that would just be too confusing. |
