She was also very beautiful like her sister and therefore pursued by Zeus. In order to escape from his embraces, she transformed herself into an island Asteria, later known as Delos. - Leto was one of the female Titanes and the mother of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis. She was the goddess of motherhood and with her children, a protector of the young.

Leto was finally provided with refuge by her sister Asteria who welcomed her to literally reside on her.
