Document Summary

Zeus mated with leto [lee"toh] (latona), who conceived the twin gods artemis [ar"te-mis] (diana) and apollo [a-pol"loh]. The lengthy hymn to apollo tells in its first part ( to delian apollo ) of apollo"s birth; no mention is made of artemis. Leto roamed far and wide in her search for a refuge where she might give birth, but the many places she approached were afraid to receive her. When leto had endured nine days and nights of labor, eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth, was summoned by iris from olympus to help in the delivery. Leto was delighted with her son, and all of delos blossomed with joy. The second part of the homeric hymn to apollo ( to pythian apollo ) tells how apollo travelled in greece until he found the proper place for the foundation of his oracle, crisa, under mt. Parnassus [par- nas"sus], or parnassos, where he laid out his temple.
