Born on the isle Ortygia, she and Leto crossed to Delos so Apollo -twin to Artemis - was born (how Artemis became goddess of women in childbirth). They were taken up to Olympus and recognized as 'bright' children of Zeus (Apollo for the sun, Artemis for the moon), they then hunted and killed many of the people who had slighted their mother Leto as she traveled while pregnant, Apollo killing the males and Artemis the females; and the monster Python was also slain. Delphi, where Python guarded, was sacred to Gaia, and so Apollo became god of the prophesy. Artemis had Zeus vow not to marry her (and perhaps Apollo as well, for he never married for all that he had children both divine and mortal), Artemis was free to chose to be virgin forever - but she alone protected that virginity. So she was the protector of girl children until marriage, and their healer as well as the striker of death and illness among women.
