LETO
Greek Mother Goddess
Mother of Artemis and Apollo
Daughter of Coeus and Phoebe and mother of the twins Artemis and Apollo.
She’s quite a bird. We’re not being sexist — she was a quail at the time. Blame Zeus — it was his doing that the twins were born with egg on their faces.
Disguising themselves as birds and getting intimate on a floating island was the only way for Leto and Zeus to escape the attentions of a jealous Hera. Which helps to explain why Leto was known as The Hidden One.
