Latona (Leto - mythology)

•  Latona in Roman mythology was the mother of Apollo and Diana.
•  Latona was the Latin form of the Greek LËTÖ.
• Hera, jealous of her, sent the serpent Python to persecute her during her pregnancy. She wandered about the earth, unable to find a place to rest, antil the floating island of Delos granted her refuge on Latona's promise that the island should become the seat of the deity to whom she would give birth there.
• Latona is represented as a mild, beneyolent goddess, in a sea-green dress. With Diana (identified with the Greek Artemis) she cured the wounded Aeneas and crowned him with glory.
• When Diana fled to Olympus from the anger of Hera, Latona carried to her the quiver and arrows which she had left behind.
