Eileithyia was the daughter of Zeus and Hera who personified childbirth and midwifery in Greek mythology. In classical antiquity, she served as the protector of the city of Lato on Crete.
Eilethyia was also known to be associated with Artemis, the moon goddess.
Trivia
- In some stories, it was said that Hera kept Eilethyia from coming to Leto, the mother of the twins Artemis and Apollo by Zeus. Due to this, Leto suffered from a prolonged labor, and Artemis helped her brother be born.
