Argos

The poem ‘Leda and the Swan’ by William Butler Yeats retells a renown story from Greek mythology. According to the myth, Leda, a queen of Sparta, was raped or seduced by Zeus in the guise of a swan. Leda then gave birth to three eggs, one of which did not hatch. The other two gave life to Helen (of Troy) and Pollux, who are assumed to be children of Zeus, and Castor and Clytemnestra, children of Leda’s husband Tyndareus. In the poem, Yeats alludes to the Trojan war and depicts unusually violent and explicit imagery through the use of powerful symbolism and various literary techniques. ‘Leda and the Swan’ differs considerably from Yeats’ earlier poems due to the violent and striking imagery. The opening line of the first stanza - ‘A sudden blow: the great wings beating still’ - immediately creates a dramatic atmosphere and a sense of foreboding. The word ‘sudden’ suggests that ‘ the staggering girl’ has not anticipated the event. In here, Yeats also uses caesura in order to emphasize the abrupt and unexpected advent of all-powerful God Zeus and bring readers closer to Leda’s perspective. Leda is absolutely vulnerable against the God and is not able conquer him. Her helplessness and weakness is juxtaposed with Zeus’ limitless power that he holds in his ‘great wings’. Interestingly, the poem is written in the form of Petrarchan sonnet, which is usually used to praise ideal love and beauty. Yeats’ sonnet, however, does not center around the theme of love but instead deals…
