Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto. When Hera, the wife of Zeus, found out that Leto was pregnant with twins fathered by Zeus, she flew into a jealous rage and forbade all lands and waters to give Leto rest. Poor Leto had to wander the earth to find a place to give birth. She finally came upon the floating island of Delos.
