Leto

Leto was a Greek goddess, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe and mother by Zeus of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis. According to myth, Hera's jealousy forced her to wander until she gave birth on the island of Delos. She was worshipped widely, notably at the Letoon in Lycia, and the Cretan city of Lato was named after her.
