"Jupiter et Antiope c.? by Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) -
Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
Antiope was unaware that her fraternal twins were by "hetero-paternity" (she was concurrently impregnated by
Zeus and her mate Epopeus). Modern multiple hetero-paternity gestations occur by fertilization by multiple males or with
spooled semen.
