=== レトと彼女の双子：アポローンとアルテミス ===
ヘーラーはレートーの妊娠と父親がゼウスであることを知ると、自然霊を説得して、レートーがテラファーム、本土、海上の島、太陽の下のどの場所でも出産できないようにした。
When Hera discovered that [[Leto]] was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she convinced the nature spirits to prevent Leto from giving birth on [[Solid earth|terra-firma]], the mainland, any island at sea, or any place under the sun.<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus]], ''Fabulae'' 140).</ref> Poseidon gave pity to Leto and guided her to the floating island of [[Delos]], which was neither mainland nor a real island where Leto was able to give birth to her children.<ref>Hammond. ''Oxford Classical Dictionary.'' 597-598.</ref> Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the bottom of the ocean.{{sfn|Freese|1911|p=184}} The island later became sacred to Apollo. Alternatively, Hera kidnapped [[Eileithyia]], the goddess of childbirth, to prevent Leto from going into labor. The other gods bribed Hera with a beautiful necklace nobody could resist and she finally gave in.<ref name=":4">{{cite journal|jstor=639206|title=Pindar on the Birth of Apollo|last1=Rutherford|first1=Ian|journal=The Classical Quarterly|year=1988|volume=38|issue=1|pages=65–75|doi=10.1017/S000983880003127X|s2cid=170272842}}</ref>
