    Chaos Theory claims that “something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. It may take a very long time, but the connection is real”(Wolfe). In “Leda and the Swan” by William Butler Yeats, Leda is raped by the Greek God Zeus, who has transformed himself into a swan. The rape leads to the birth of four children, the two immortals, Castor and Pollux, and most importantly the two mortals, Helen and Clytemnestra, who one day have a great impact on what is now known as southeastern Europe.

(Works and Days, ll. 54-59) While the biblical God is acting out of compassion for his creation and caring for his well-being, Zeus is generally uninterested in humanity’s well-being, intervening when it serves his purposes, and vengeful when crossed, even when humanity themselves have done nothing to earn his ire. Both women are warned not to perform their respective misdeed, but there are key differences in how and why the women succumb.…
