The swan, an attribute of Apollo,is often associated with Music, its symbolic role is based on the fact that it miraculously sang before its death; thus the concept of the swan song.

They are also symbolic of love, devotion and partnership. This is because swans mate for many years, sometimes for life. The expression of love is the swan's care for her young.This makes the swan a symbol of love in motherhood.
