Document Summary

Leto can only give birth on the island of delos (clear). Ortygia she had given birth to apollo"s twin sister, artemis. Hera, out of jealousy made sure no place accepted leto, so she travelled until she found. Artemis, hekate and selene are all moon-goddesses. Shrine of apollo in delos but also in delphi. Seems as though apollo comes and fixes places. Leto, apollo, artemis (godess of child birth) often presented as divine family. Myth: leto threatened by giant sent by hera, that tries to rape leto right after she gives birth to her twins. The giant is tityos, and so apollo and artemis shoot him with arrows to protect their mother. Myth: niobe, a mother of seven sons and seven daughters that lived in troy. She claimed she was more fortunate and happier than leto. When mortals claim to be more fortunate than a god: hubris (arrogance). Leto is upset so apollo and artemis shoot all her children.
