ZEUS, in swan form, EGGED LEDA ON TO BIRTH HELEN & POLLUX; Leda’s husband–Spartan King Tyndareus

Prelude: Janet Lessin and Minerva, as Janet calls her AI, illustrated Dr. Lessin’s essay on Leda and the Swan. Minerva, her AI is compelled by her programmers to discount tales from our ancients as thought they were just myths.

However, Dr. Lessin notes, he is a revisionist or interventionist ethnologist. Revisionists means re-examine older works and add modern findings. Ethnologists call upon decades of study and make intuitive leaps based on all they learned and speculated to generate hypotheses. Unlike Minerva, who must label our ancestors’ stories as “myths or legends” as her programmers decree, Minerva cannot truely understand revisionist/interventionalists’ hypotheses guesses that, at the least, yield hypotheses that further data can verify, refine, or disprove. Minerva is forbidden from considering the following:

REVISIONIST ANTHROPOLOGY: TAKE “MYTHS” AS OUR ANCESTORS’ WORDING FOR TECHNOLOGY THEY LACKED, BUT THAT THEIR HUMAN TECHNOLOGICAL MASTERS FROM OTHER PLANETS OR THE INNER EARTH USED by Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. (Anthropology, UCLA)

Ancient Alien theorists and I understand the so-called “myths” to be our ancestors’ reports of their accounts of their observations.

We no longer agree with ethnocentric academics’ relegation of what our ancestors saw and heard from their ancestors to myths or fictional accounts.

Revisionist anthropologists like me regard “gods” and their miracles as actual accounts of the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki were people—not gods–with advanced technology and psychic power.

Academics have relegated miracles, devices, and psycho-kinesthetic activities our ancestors related to the status of myth. I think they must say “myths” to keep their jobs and get posted on Wikipedia. I contend that what they call myths are, from my perspective, merely observational accounts and subsequent generations’ elaborations of these accounts as people transmit them.

Consider stories of gods, religious figures, and computational and transport devices that reference what our ancestors saw, heard, felt, and discussed using concepts available in the languages they spoke and wrote.

Our forebearers tell of a whale swallowing Jonah, designate a vimana or flying saucer as a dragon or magic carpet, describe an Anunnaki sonar attack that crumbles Jericho’s walls as a miracle, and say that an enlightened Jewish rabbi is the God of gods.

The Tale of Leda and Zeus is AI’s perspective on Dr. Lessin’s version of Homer’s report on the Trojan War background in his Iliad.

**The Dual Lineage of Leda** This tableau illustrates the birth of Helen and Pollux from the divine union of Zeus, disguised as a radiant swan, and Leda, queen of Sparta. Beside the glowing egg symbolizing their origin, Leda cradles the twins, while King Tyndareus, her mortal husband, stands nearby with dignified reserve. He is the father of her mortal children, Clytemnestra and Castor, completing the dual lineage.

ZEUS [Marduk in his Greek avatar], in swan form, EGGED LEDA ON TO BIRTH HELEN & POLLUX; Leda’s husband–Spartan King Tyndareus–begat Clytemnestra & Castor with Leda–they hatched from an egg she laid anyhow By Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. (UCLA, Anthropology) For more on ancient Greece, click https://wp.me/s1TVCy-greece

Helen was born to Zeus and Lita, Queen of Sparta. The Queen was basking by a pond when a beautiful Swan flew into her arms to escape an eagle.

**The Twin Origins of Leda’s Children** Leda’s two eggs hatch. Leda kneels beside the glowing eggs—symbols of dual parentage. One egg has cracked open to reveal Helen and Pollux, children of Zeus, radiating a subtle celestial glow. The other egg reveals Castor and Clytemnestra, Leda’s mortal offspring with King Tyndareus, who stands nearby clad in Spartan armor. In the form of a luminous swan, Zeus watches over the pair.

The swan-shaped god bonded and coupled with the young Queen.

**Divine and Mortal: The Hatching of Leda’s Four** Leda, in flowing robes, gently leans over two radiant eggs. One is already open, revealing the twins Helen and Pollux, their forms glowing with otherworldly light. The second egg splits, giving life to Castor and Clytemnestra, who appear more human and earthly. Zeus stands nearby in majestic swan form. King Tyndareus looks on with quiet pride.

Leda laid two eggs. One cracked open and revealed Helen and Pollux, Zeus’s children. The other hatched into Castor and Clytemnestra, offspring of Leda and her husband, Tyndareus, King of Sparta.

Athen’s old King THESEUS and his pal Pirithous decided to abduct goddesses [Anunnaki women] as breeding wives. They first went to Sparta for Helen, whom Zeus had begotten. After they snatched her, they drew straws to see which of them would get her. Theseus won the draw.

**The Drawing of Fates: Theseus Claims Helen** I: Athens’ King **Theseus** and his comrade **Pirithous** stand in the Spartan court after abducting the young and divine **Helen**, daughter of Zeus. Theseus, clad in bronze armor, holds the longer straw, signifying his “win” in their pact to divide the spoils. Radiant yet distressed, Helen stands with an ethereal glow—a goddess-born figure and an unwilling prize.

**Spoils of Ambition: Helen Divided by Oath.** **Theseus** and **Pirithous** in the aftermath of abducting **Helen** from Sparta. The men hold sticks, having drawn lots as per their pact to take goddesses for wives. Theseus claims Helen while Pirithous looks on stoically. Helen’s caught between fate and force.

**Straws of Destiny: Helen Between Two Fates:** **Theseus** wins the draw for **Helen**, whom he and **Pirithous** abducted in a quest to claim goddess-born wives. Theseus holds the longer straw. Pirithous stands beside him, disappointed, holds his shorter straw in hand. Between them, **Helen** radiates a mix of sorrow, defiance, and silent dignity.

Theseus and Pirithous left Helen with Theseus‘ mother, Aethra, at Aphidnae. They went to the underworld [South Africa]to steal Persephone [aka Ereshkigal] to breed with Pirthous. Hades/Nergal, however, captured and imprisoned them.

**The Hidden Throne: Theseus and Pirithous in the Subterranean Realm** In pursuit of the goddess Persephone—also called **Ereshkigal**—Theseus and Pirithous descend into an **ancient underground city**, where divine justice awaits. **Hades/Nergal** presides with fire-crowned majesty upon a dark throne, flanked by a regal Persephone. The intruders are captured by spectral chains rising from the ground, punishment for their hubris in trying to claim a goddess for their own.

**Faces Before Judgment** In the heart of a forgotten subterranean world, Theseus and Pirithous stand face-to-face with forces beyond mortal reckoning. Theseus wears resolve; Pirithous betrays doubt. Behind them, Hades and Persephone—divine arbiters of the hidden realm—observe in silence.

**Waiting at Aphidnae** As Theseus and Pirithous descend into the shadowed realms below the earth, **Helen,** daughter of Zeus, remains in the mortal world, watched over by **Aethra**, Theseus’ mother.
