In Norse myth, two of these creatures, from which all others of these creatures descend, drink from the well of Urd. In another myth, twins Fiachra and Conn (-5[1])and two other children were transformed into these animals by the jealous Aoife (“EEF-uh”). Those children (10[1])who spent 900 years living as these animals were known as the Children of Lir. In a myth from a different country, a water snake kills an adventurer sent from Pohjola (“poh-YOH-lah”) to kill one of these animals in Tuonela. (10[4])A (10[1])Greek (10[1])god (10[1])took the form of one of these animals to father Helen of Troy. For 10 points, name this animal that Zeus transformed into to rape Leda. ■END■ (0[1])
