House of Leda

The House of Leda in Pompeii is renowned for its sensual frescoes, notably the famous depiction of Leda and the Swan.

This residence showcases the allure of the myth with a main fresco portraying Jupiter, transformed into a swan, attempting to seduce Leda, the queen of Sparta. Located in a cubiculum next to a corridor adorned with the figure of Priapus, this fresco epitomizes the Fourth Style, which also adorns the now-collapsed ceiling.

The house also features frescoes of Narcissus and Mercury, enriching it with layers of mythology and culture.
