Best Answer

Artemis was born on Delos or Ortygia. She is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin of Apollo. There are two accounts of her birth:

  1. Told by Callimachus, Hera was angry at Zeus for getting Leto pregnant, and forbade her from giving birth on land. However, Leto disobeyed Hera and gave birth to the twins on an island.
  2. Zeus turned Leto into a quail to prevent Hera from discovering his infidelity when she had her children.

Artemis was born to Zeus and Leto, a Titan goddess. Leto endured a difficult labor while seeking a place to give birth, facing the jealousy of Hera who had forbidden her to give birth on land. Finally, Leto found refuge on the floating island of Delos, and Artemis was born there, helping her mother deliver her twin brother Apollo shortly after.
