That union between Leda and Zeus is certainly among the most fascinating stories of the mythology of Greece. Firstly here is a brief summary: the Lord of Olympus falls in love with mortal Leda, queen of Sparta. God presents himself to the woman in the form of a swan, and she sees two pairs of twins: Castor and Pollux, who will be born from an egg, and Helen and Clytemnestra, a second egg. In other versions of the myth, only Polydeuces and Helen were children of Zeus, while Castor and Clytemnestra were the offspring of King Tindaro, the companion of Leda, and so deadly. The four sons of Leda are the protagonists of many other Hellenic legends in the field: Helen and Clytemnestra, in particular, we find in the Homeric poems. But we interpretation or at least one of the possible levels of interpretation hermeneutics: Leda could be the Hyle (matter). When Zeus, the divine spark animating things, joins the field, it generates with two "eggs", which in this case should be read as two "foreign assets": Psyche (the etheric) and Nous (the astral). These two "bodies" are themselves divided internally by a gang of "mortal" and component "immortal", just like the inside of an egg yolk and egg white is divided into: the psyche is composed of momentary aspects related to individual personality and space-time (Clytemnestra), and part divine and immutable (Elena), as well as the Nous, which is divided into lower personal Ego (Castor), and the superego, ego than trasnpersonale (Pollux). The alchemists used to refer to the human being, symbolically, as "philosophical egg, the egg that is where we were making the transformations of consciousness.
