Leto was impregnated by Zeus

The event of Zeus impregnating Leto is one of the most interesting facts of Leto’s life. Zeus admired Leto's beauty and found her style of life to be charming. Although he was married to his sister Hera, Leto held more allure for him. At the very least, he desired to be physically intimate with her. To achieve his goal, he persuaded and charmed Leto; unfortunately, Leto later becomes pregnant.

Hera, Zeus' envious wife, then chased the goddess aggressively to stop her from having illicit offspring. She even sent Ares and Iris to keep watch over the continent and the islands, and she threatened every city and territory Leto approached, preventing her from seeking sanctuary. Leto was prevented from giving birth to her twins as a result of her curse. Leto could not locate a single island or piece of land that was sturdy enough for her to give birth.

To prevent Leto from giving birth in tranquility, the entire planet was enveloped in clouds. When Zeus created a whole island for Leto, she was able to give birth to Apollo and Artemis.
