Leto

Hyperion the Titan god wed Thea, the Titan goddess, and their children were Hellas, the bright sun, and Selene, the clear moon.

And Coeus wed Phoebe, and their children were Leto, who was kind to gods and men, and Asteria of happy name, and Hecate, whom Zeus honored above all.

Now the gods who were the children of Cronus and Rhea went up into the mountain Olympus, and there they built their shining palaces.

But the Titan gods who were born of heaven and earth went up to the mountain Othrys, and there they had their thrones.

Dialogue 10.

Iris conveys to Poseidon the commands of Zeus that he should keep the island of Delos stationary where Leto was to lie in.

It shall be done this moment, Iris.

What convenience, however, will it afford him when it has been brought up to the surface and no longer sails about?

Leto is to lie in on it, for at this very moment she is ill with the pangs of labour.

What then? Is not heaven a fitting place for her to produce her children in? And if that locality is not, at all events could not the whole earth give shelter to her offspring?
