Question
In one myth, humans in the form of these animals were helped by an old man named Mochua (“mo-HOO-uh”) who rang a matins. 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 and two other children were transformed into these animals by the jealous Aoife (“EEF-uh”). Those children 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. A Greek god 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■
