There is a magnificent marital from the Middle Ages called The Silver Swan about this myth. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. It's on YouTube. I highly recommend it.

Really interesting. I'd often wondered about the origins of Swan song. And now I know.

AndrewtheWhovian72, : "Swans sing before they die - 'twere no bad thing should certain persons die before they sing." S. T. Coleridge. Judging by some of the pop songs of today, he was bang on the money.

I heard the true account of a hunter who witnessed two birds laying together after the bird he shot was dying from his bullet. As They mate for life!! Sport Hunters who kill innocent animals that can't and don't harm anyone should think!

wow great information. I love the history of greek mythology

SharingCity, In the U.K. swans belong to the Queen. It is considered treason to kill a swan.

Led Zeppelin's record label that they formed, like the Beatles have Apple, was Swan Song Records.

It's almost heartbreaking if it's a true statement about signing before their death. What a beautiful creature...🦢🎼

K8ermum, actually swans are not technically owned by Her Maj but they are under her or his (if a king is on the throne) Royal protectorate meaning only an agent of the Monarchy is allowed to kill one. This means that Barons often have the right as do Royal Dukes.
