Greek Mythology: Leda & the swan
Leda was one of the many young ladies who were "seduced" (frequently unwillingly) by Zeus and subsequently punished by Hera. In this instance, he charmed her as a swan, then changed form when he was close enough.

Sek (Syberian) mythology:
Es, the sky god, created the world, and carved the people from the mountains. The newly-created people are clothed, which is presumably a sop to the prurient, but this strikes a jarring note in the image.

Herakles and Deijaneira were crossing a river when Nessus offered to carry the lady across. He ran away with her, but Herakles shot an arrow from the far bank, killing Nessus. As Nessus lay dying, he told Deijaneira to keep some of his blood and to wash Herakles' coat in it should he ever stray. In a fit of jealousy she did this, and the blood seared Herakles' skin, causing him great suffering, from which he would have died had not Zeus elevated him to the stars.
