  In the kingdom of Sparta, where warriors trained from childhood and honor was valued above gold, there ruled a queen whose beauty was so extraordinary that it caught the attention of Zeus himself. Leda was her name, and her story would give birth to legends that would echo through the ages, spawning heroes and bringing about the greatest war the ancient world had ever known.
