Greek A Titan; daughter of Coeus and
Phoebe; mother, by Zeus, of the twin deities, Artemis
and Apollo. The Romans called her Latona.
According to Hesiod, Leto was noted for her
gentleness. Hera, the jealous wife of Zeus, relentlessly
pursued Leto, who wandered from place to
place, finally resting at Delos, where she gave birth
to the divine twins. It is said that Artemis was born
first and immediately became mature enough to help
her mother with the birth of Apollo. At one time,
Delos was a floating island in the Aegean Sea. In
recognition of its being a haven for Leto and the children,
Zeus made the island immovable and decreed
that no one should be born or die there.
