Caption
The statues of Leda and the Swan are located over the entrance of the old inn “The Swan” in Horb.

Leda was the wife of the Spartan king Tyndareus. But the head of the ancient Greek Pantheon, Zeus, was very much interested in humans – to be precise in female humans. He also was a fan of camouflage. So he approached quite a few objects of his desire in disguise. He seduced Leda in the guise of a swan - Leda wanted to protect the swan from a pursuing eagle. Since she lay with her husband the same night, it is not quite sure, who of her children, that hatched from eggs, is human or half divine: Helen (of Troy), Clytemnestra, Castor and Polydeuces (also called Pollux).
