Leto
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leto is a goddess in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe. Leto is the mother of the twins Artemis and Apollo by Zeus.
After her twins were born, Leto played very little part in Greek mythology.
[edit] Artemis's and Apollo's birth
Hera, who was Zeus's wife, discovered that Leto was pregnant and became very angry. She banned Leto from giving birth on any place under the sun.
Leto gave birth to Artemis without any problem. However she was in labour with Apollo for nine days and nine nights. Artemis helped Leto to give birth to Apollo.
