This paper is one of a series investigating basic mythological themes and making special use of the artistic representation of such themes over the centuries. The rape of the mortal, Leda, by Zeus in the form of a swan is examined in terms of comparative mythology and of poetic and pictorial portrayals. The myth is seen primarily as one of sexuality and three aspects are isolated. Firstly, the sexual relationship of gods to humans, and this is seen as both an extension of the parent-child relationship and consequently incestuous, and as having an important creative aspect. Secondly, the general portrayal of sexual union, and this is handled in a diverse manner, the rape element is largely ignored, and there is a high proportion of deviant relationships of an oral or sado-masochistic nature revealed. Finally, the influence of the bird as the sexual partner is seen in terms of the bird as a sexual symbol, of bestiality and the use or not of specific aspects of avian sexuality, notably, cloacal sexuality, superfoetation and oviparous birth.

Background: The DREAM Challenge evaluated methods to identify molecular pathways facilitating the detection of multiple genes affecting critical interactions and processes. Dysregulation of pathways by well-known driver genes is often found in the development and progression of cancer. We used the gene interaction networks provided and the scoring rounds to test disease module identification methods to nominate candidate driver genes in these modules. Method: Our algorithm calculated the proportion of the whole network accessible in two steps from each node in a combined network, which was defined as a 2-reach gene value. Genes with high 2-reach values were used to form the center of star cover clusters. These clusters were assessed for significant modules. Within these modules we identified novel candidate driver genes, by considering the parent-child relationship of well-known driver genes. Disturbance to such driver genes or their upstream parents, can lead to disruption of highly regulated signals affecting the normal functions of cells. We explored these parents as a potential source for candidate driver genes. Results:  An initial list of 57 candidate driver genes was identified from 13 significant modules. Analysis of the parent-child relationships of well-known driver genes in these modules prioritized PRKDC, YWHAB, GSK3B, and PPP1CB. Conclusion: Our method incorporated the simple m-reach topology metric in disease module identification and its relationship with known driver genes to identify candidate genes. The four genes shortlisted have been highlighted in recent publications in the literature, which supports the need for further wet lab experimental investigation.
