This article explores a poetic and symbolic bridge between the archaic cosmogony of Greek primordial deities (Chaos, Nyx, Achlys, Erebus, etc.) and modern theoretical physics (antimatter, vacuum fluctuations, the graviton, compactified dimensions, quantum fields). Through an interdisciplinary narrative, the piece proposes a mirrored cosmogony, in which ancient mythological figures are reinterpreted as metaphors for fundamental scientific concepts. The style is lyrical, rigorous, and deliberately hybrid, combining scientific reasoning, metaphysical depth, and symbolic resonance. This work aims to create a fertile dialogue between myth and science, not through simplification, but through structural and conceptual echo.
This study offers an in-depth reassessment of the critical fate of Leda and the Swan by Leonardo da Vinci, by cross-referencing the analysis of early inventories, erudite seventeenth-century testimonies, Franco-English diplomatic networks, and the mechanisms of historical confusion. It aims at deconstructing the fragile, often arbitrary attributions that have contributed to the marginalization of certain works of the master. By refocusing attention on the Leda kept at Wilton House, regarded until the mid-20th century as a work by Leonardo himself, this research proposes a critical reassessment of its current attribution, considering newly uncovered historical and stylistic evidence.
