Leda had multiple adventures throughout her life. These included being caught by the 'sirens' within the Tomb of Polybotes on Kos, but escaping their clutches, leaving her aulos behind.[2] For a time, she also remained on the island of Anaphi, tending to a young one-eyed boy called Polyphemos, and fishing with him on the beach. Before she left him, she gave him 'spices'.[3] Leda also befriended Circe, with whom she spent a night drinking wine in the ruins on Atoll Point, Paros Island. She left Circe with her bracelet.[4] Decades later, her steps were retraced by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, following visions Barnabas had had while under the effects of lotus flower wine.[1]
