Zeus wasn’t the first to notice the mortal spending half of her fortune on the construction of an elaborate swan costume. The King of Olympus lets the good stuff filter through. That’s his prerogative. But word got to him about this one, and soon he and Hermes observed the Athenian woman, Aglaia, strut around in costume: each feather fluttering perfectly, the beak convincing, the wings bending and flapping with stunning verisimilitude. The only signs that this was not a giant swan clomping around the garden were when Aglaia said “Zeus” in between squawks, and the opening on the underside that revealed her human vulva.
