She became by the birth of her children Apollo and Artemis, a goddess of motherhood and with her children (as Apollo protected boy children, and Artemis girl children) a protectress of the young. Her name "Leto" coming from "lêthô" meaning "Unseen/Unobserved" suggest she was also a goddess of modesty and womanly demure because she is seen lifting her maiden vial on artwork; or like her sister Asteria she may also have been a goddess of the night, or alternatively of the light of day. Her parents Phoebe Titan goddess of the "bright" intellect, wife of Koios, "the inquirer." suggest she had knowledge of the "unseen"; possibly magic or prophesy.
