Zeus constantly had affairs with many mortal women, occasionally nymphs. Hera, his jealous wife would often strike out against the women and make them suffer, since she couldn't really do any harm to Zeus. One example was Zeus and Leto. When Hera found out Leto was pregnant after having an affair with Zeus she cursed Leto to be unable to actually give birth on the island that she stayed. Zeus, pitied her, changed Leto into a bird who flew to one of the other islands and gave birth to Artemis and Apollo with hatched from eggs.
