Leto was the child of two titans Coeus and Pheobe. Leto and the king of the greek gods, Zeus, were expecting children. Hera Zeus's wife was angry that Leto was pregnant so she forbid her to have the children on the mainland of Greece or on ant islands. Zeus turned Leto into a quail, and when she gave birth she would be expected to feel as much pain as a bird laying her eggs. Even though Hera had forbid Leto to have the children on any part of Greece, she gave birth to the god Apollo and the goddess Artemis on the Greek island of Delos. It is said that Artemis was born first and helped Leto give birth to Apollo.
