To clarify you are saying:
1. Satan fell
2. Humanity
3. 1/3 of the Angels fell

Notice that Genesis 6 is after Genesis 3? Unless that's irrelevant in what is otherwise clearly a chronological narrative, or there's some unnamed event in which the tail of the Dragon sweeps 1/3 of the stars out of heaven, and/or the "sons of God" were already poisoned before descending to earth to connubiate with poisoned humanity.
Leda and the Swan I don't know about - Greek myth? Not really interested, as my curiosity does have its limits.
Most Protestant Christians aren't interested in such subjects as the fall of the angels, either. And those that are, if Google is any indicator, often link them to Nephilim, Area 51, and whether Condoleezza Rice is an alien reptile. Again, my curiosity has limits.
But I'll say this: if you begin to consider it, it does help explain things like Paul writing to sisters to cover their heads "for the sake of the angels", and so forth.
And to me, to gloss over such matters is like saying that you're going after Hitler, and when someone points out the location of a Panzer division you say, "I don't care about them." Well, okay then.
