Today's video is back to basics with the birth story of two Olympians, Artemis and Apollo. Watch their mother, Leto, fight off the monstrous Python as she gives birth. I also took the liberty of throwing in a few other stories involving Leto like that story of Niobe and Tityo. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

Great video as always Mike. The Tityos thing was new and interesting. Unfortunate fate for what seems like a very obscure figure. At least Prometheus is eventually freed from his torture by Herakles.

Nice presentation bro! Dragon is the snake in Greek mythology. Sometimes it is called as a snake and some as a dragon! :)

Imagine being a twin but *technically* being the younger one by nine days

Apollo having the audacity to wonder who's the better shot of the two lmao
