The myth is about Zeus, the king of the gods, and Leto’s love affair. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Leto was a daughter of the Titan Coeus and Phoebe, Asteria’s sister, and the mother of god Apollo and Artemis by Zeus. Homer also mentions Leto in the Iliad as taking the side of the Trojans in the war with the Greeks. Zeus’ infidelity with Leto infuriated Hera, who ordered that no place should allow Leto to give birth. Leto wandered around Greece, but could not find a place to bring her babies to life. She finally went to the Aegean and saw a big rock floating in the middle of the sea, a place not yet recognized by gods or mortals, and sat there to rest. The tiny island’s name was Adelo, (άδηλο) meaning undeclared in Greek. The rock spoke to Leto and said, “My Leto, come and give birth on me.” Leto went to a palm tree in the middle of the island, and, grabbing herself by the trunk, gave birth to Apollo. Suddenly, Aegean was bathed in light upon the newborn’s appearance. A flock of swans circled the tiny island. All the gods came to the rock to witness the newborn god of light. All the islands gathered around in a circle (Greek: κύκλος [Cyclos]) to pray and honor the island for the precious birth at the center of the Aegean, hence their name Cyclades (Κυκλάδες). Now the tiny island was no longer Adelos, undeclared; it was declared Delos (Δήλος). As the birthplace of Apollo, Delos was a sacred island in antiquity, with the magnificent Temple of the god of the sun and light dominating the landscape. From then on, Leto became the goddess of motherhood and a protectress of the young. Ancient Greek theater on Delos.

According to Hyginus, Aegeus was a legendary king of Athens, and his wife Aethra gave him a son and heir, the great hero Theseus. When Minos, the powerful king of Crete, declared war on Athens he set the terms that if Aegeus wanted to maintain peace he had to send seven young men and seven young women in sacrifice to feed the Minotaur, the vicious monster with the body of a man and the head of a bull living in a labyrinth by the Palace of Knossos.

He set out for Crete and eventually succeeded in killing the Minotaur with the help of Ariadne. But, celebrating his great success, he forgot one important thing he had promised his father upon his departure. Aegeus, fearing for his only son’s life, had asked Theseus that if he returned to Athens after killing the Minotaur, he should put up the w
