Many poets have drawn inspiration from the tale of Leda for their works. Among the most renowned poems on this Greek myth are Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Leda” (1908), found in Selected Poems, H. D. (Hilda Doolittle)’s “Leda” (1921) in Hymen, and D. H. Lawrence’s “Leda” in Pansies (1929).

Yeats's 1928 collection, The Tower, which features “Leda and the Swan,” is often regarded as one of his greatest compilations. This volume includes several of his most celebrated poems, such as “Sailing to Byzantium,” “Among School Children,” and “The Dying Swan.”

In The Greek Myths (1960), Robert Graves recounts the creation myths along with the stories and lives of Greek gods and heroes.

Yeats’s Mythologies (1962) is an anthology that compiles Irish legends and occult tales, showcasing the poet’s profound interest in mythology and his dedication to preserving and celebrating Irish history and culture.
