HGV 62505 Translation (English) [xml]

1  The author of the Cypria writes that having turned himself into the likeness of a goose he (i.e. Zeus) also pursued Nemesis, 5  and that after they had had intercourse, they produced an egg, from which was hatched Helen. When he became enamored of Leda, he became a swan, 10  and of Europa, a bull, and of Lamia, a hoopoe, and of Danae, gold. And both in Apollonides 15  and in Euripides it [this story] is told.
