wikipedia:
According to one myth, Leda bore Helen and Polydeuces (Pollux), children of Zeus while at the same time bearing Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, the king of Sparta. As the story goes, Zeus took the form of a swan and slept with Leda on the same night as her husband, King Tyndareus. To Zeus, she gave birth to Helen and Polydeuces, and to Tyndareus, Clytemnestra and Castor. In some versions, she laid two eggs from which the children hatched. In other versions, Helen is a daughter of Nemesis, the goddess who personified the disaster that awaited those suffering from the pride of Hubris.

Go to the website for the Library of Congress at: loc.gov and post your question on their query site. The answers you receive here will probably overwhelm you as the Library of Congress is the largest library in the world today.
