Swans appear in many mythologies and have a variety of symbolic meanings, including:
Norse and Germanic
Swan maidens are girls who can transform into swans using a magic ring, chain, or dress of swan feathers. In Norse mythology, Valkyries were swan maidens who could transform between their swan and warrior forms.
Celtic
Swans are associated with the spirit world and can shift between the earthly and supernatural realms. In Irish mythology, Celtic goddesses often took the form of swans and were identifiable by a golden or silver chain around their neck.
Greek
In the story of Leda and the Swan, Zeus disguised as a swan mated with Leda, Queen of Sparta, to conceive Helen of Troy. The swan was also sacred to Apollo, who is often depicted riding a chariot pulled by swans.
Finnish
In Finnish mythology, swans sing once before they die, which is the origin of the phrase “swan song”.
Roman
The Roman poet Juvenal used the phrase “rara avis” (rare bird) to describe a good woman, which was a reference to the rarity of black swans in the Northern Hemisphere.

In Greek Mythology the Swan is the symbol of the Muses who provided inspiration for poets and artists. When Zeus fell in love with the mortal Leda, he transformed himself into a swan in his efforts to seduce her. From their union she gave birth to Helen of Troy and the twins Castor and Pollux.

Swans have been associated with Egypt in a few ways:
Statues
Statues of swans have been found in royal burials, suggesting that swans may have had some symbolic meaning in ancient Egypt.
Musical instruments
Swans were associated with music in classical times, and may have decorated ancient Egyptian musical instruments.
Winter visitors
Whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) and Mute swans (Cygnus olor) are uncommon winter visitors to Egypt today, but were more abundant in the time of Prospero Alpini’s visit to Egypt in 1580—1582.
Bewick’s swan
Bewick’s swans (Cygnus bewickii) may have also been known to ancient Egyptians, though they are not currently found in Egypt.
Wooden sculpture
A wooden sculpture of a Mute swan from the tomb of Princess Itiwert at Dahshur is nearly life-size and so accurate in detail that it can be specifically identified.
Birds were a common motif in ancient Egyptian art and design, and were regarded as symbols of fertility, life, and regeneration.

Circe is often depicted as beautiful, but she can also be portrayed as ugly or somewhere in between. Her character has been adapted in many different ways, from Ancient Greek and Roman literature to modern retellings.

Circe also turned the Italian king Picus into a woodpecker for resisting her advances
Circe is most famous for her interactions with Odysseus, the Greek hero who visits her island on his way home from the Trojan War. Circe turns most of Odysseus’s crew into pigs, but Odysseus uses the

herb moly to convince her to change them back. Odysseus then stays with Circe for a year and they have three children together
Circe lives on the island of Aeaea, which is guarded by men she has turned into wolves and lions.
In Greek mythology, Circe is a minor goddess and enchantress known for her ability to transform people into animals.
These latter circuses are normally small (Nicopolis (Greece) and Aphrodisias (Turkey)), and should probably be considered stadia.
One circus, that at Antinoöpolis(Egypt), displays a distinct gap of some 50m between the carceres and the start of the ascending seating where there is apparently no structure. This appears to be an exception.
The performance space of the Roman circus was normally, despite its name, an oblong rectangle of two linear sections of race track, separated by a median strip running along the length of about two thirds the track, joined at one end with a semicircular section and at the
other end with an undivided section of track closed (in most cases) by a distinctive starting gate known as the carceres, thereby creating a circuit for the races. The Circus Maximusepitomises the design.

According to Edward Gibbon the Roman people, at the start of the 5th century AD:
…still considered the Circus as their home, their temple, and the seat of the republic.
Along with theatres and amphitheatres, circuses were one of the main entertainment venues at the time.
A Roman circus (from the Latin word that means “circle”) was a large open-air venue used mainly for chariot races, although sometimes serving other purposes
generation, Pompey was allowed to wear his triumphal ornaments whenever he went to the Games at the Circus.
The same men were often given extraordinary honors. Triumphs grew ever more splendid; Marius and Sulla, the rival leaders in Rome’s first civil war, each founded cities, which they named after themselves.
The mos majorum had required that magistrates hold office collectively, and for short periods; there were two consuls; even colonies were founded by boards of three men; but these new leaders held power by themselves, and often for years.
In the last decades of the Roman Republic, its leaders regularly assumed extra-constitutional powers
therefore became a focus of theological and political debate during the ascendancy of Christianity under Constantine I. The emperor
Julian failed to reverse the declining support for Rome’s official religious practices: Theodosius Iadopted Christianity as Rome’s state religion. Rome’s traditional gods and imperial cult were officially abandoned.
The imperial cult was inseparable from that of Rome’s official deities, whose cult was essential to Rome’s survival and whose neglect was therefore treasonous.
A deceased emperor held worthy of the honor could be voted a state divinity (divus, plural divi) by the Senate and elevated as such in an act of apotheosis.
The granting of apotheosis served religious, political and moral judgment on Imperial rulers and allowed living emperors to associate themselves with a well-regarded lineage..
The official offer of cultus to a living emperor acknowledged his office and rule as divinely approved and constitutional: his Principate should therefore demonstrate pious respect for traditional Republican deities and mores.

The princeps(emperor) was expected to balance the interests of the Roman military, Senate and people, and to maintain peace, security and prosperity throughout an ethnically diverse empire
Augustus’s reforms transformed Rome’s Republican system of government to a de facto monarchy, couched in traditional Roman practices and Republican values.
This was rapidly established throughout the Empire and its provinces, with marked local variations in its reception and expression.
Its framework was based on Roman and Greek precedents, and was formulated during the early Principate of Augustus.
The Roman imperial cult (Latin: cultus imperatorius) identified emperors and some members of their families with the divinely sanctioned authority (auctoritas) of the Roman State.
In Roman art and literature, myths of Selene are adapted under the name of Luna. The myth of Endymion, for instance, was a popular subject for Roman wall painting.
She was one of the deities Macrobius proposed as the secret tutelary of Rome.In Imperial cult, Sol and Luna can represent the extent of Roman rule over the world, with the aim of guaranteeing peace.
Varro categorized Luna and Sol among the visible gods, as distinguished from invisible gods such as Neptune, and deified mortals such as Hercules.
Roman art, Luna attributes the crescent moon plus the two-yoke chariot (biga). In the Carmen Saeculare, performed in 17 BC, Horace invokes her as the “two-horned queen of the stars” (siderum regina bicornis), bidding her to listen to the girls singing as Apollolistens to the boys.

Luna was believed to have the power to mask reality, to pierce illusion, to awaken intuition and to spark visions. This latter arising from association of the night and the moon with dreams
