  myth> LETO WAS THE DAUGHTER OF 
        TITANS COEUS & PHOEBE 
  HER SISTERS WERE ASTERIA AND ORTYGIA
  IMPREGNATED AND ABANDONED BY ZEUS
  SHE FOUND REFUGE IN DELOS WHERE SHE DELIVERED APOLLO
  AFTER BEING TORMENTED BY HER
  WHO ASKED THE PYTHON TO CHASE LETO AND 
  DECLARED THAT LETO COULD NOT GIVE BIRTH 
  ON ANY SPOT ON THE EARTH WHERE THE SUN SHONE  
  ZEUS ASKED POSEIDON AND BOREAS FOR HELP 
  POSEIDON WAS ADAMANT TO HELP AND 
  ANCHORED A THE FLOATING ORTYGIA ISLAND 
  ON FOUR ADAMANTINE PILLASTERS WHILE
  BOREAS BLEW A STORM TO RAISE A CURTAIN OF 
  SEA WATER TO SHADE THE SITE FROM THE SUN
  SO LETO FOUND A SAFE BERTH FOR THE BIRTH OF 
  THE TWINS APOLLO AND ARTEMIS 
  ORTYGIA BECAME THE SACRED ISLAND OF DELOS 
  REVERED AS THE "THE BRIGHT or BRILLIANT" 
  SITE OF THE BIRTH OF APOLLO WHO PERSONIFIED SUNLIGHT
