Leda

Leda is about the god Zeus taking the form of a swan to rape Leda. Dario uses very vivid colors when describing everything in this poem. Dario writes about how Zeus takes upon the form of a swan and takes to a lake to find Leda. Once he finds her he takes her for himself, when Zeus doesnt think anyone else is watching. The last two lines of the poem though, indicate that Pan was watching. The interesting thing about these lines isnt the fact that Pan was watching, but yet again the color used to describe it, "... the screen of teeming foiage parts and the wild green eyes of Pan stare out, wide with surprise." Now what I wonder is are his eyes actually green, or was this color used to depict jealousy for Zeus taking Leda when Pan wasn't able to?
