| | Ilithyia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There were ancient icons of Eileithyia at Athens, one said to have been brought from Crete, according to Pausanias, who mentioned shrines to Ilithyia in Tenea and Argos, with an extremely important shrine in Aigion. | | | Caves were believed to be sacred to her (perhaps a reference to the birth canal). | | | In Greek shrines, small terracotta votive figures (kourotrophos) depicted an immortal nurse who took care of divine infants, who may be connected with Eileithyia. |

| | "Not really." Ilithyia answered, shaking her head so her black ringlets bounced in a mockery of Ares' limp curls that were always the finer. | | | "...And the giants fled before the mighty power of the combined -- oh, Father." Ilithyia, Zeus and Hera's eldest, dark-haired daughter, stood up from her seat at Ares' bedside only to immediately dip back down and pet the bared forearm of her brother's inert form. | | | Zeus closed his eyes against the sight that greeted him, cursing the darkness of the bed that only made his son seem more pale and weak. |

| | Eventually the other gods persuaded her to let Ilithyia go and Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis, his twin sister. | | | At Delphi, Leto had tried to rest but Python, a fearsome dragon, had learned from the Oracle at Delphi that a son of Leto would kill him and sure enough Apollo came to call and killed Python (this earned him the epithet of Pythius). | | | Leto conceived twins but was hated by Hera and not allowed to give birth because Hera imprisoned Ilithyia, the goddess of childbirth. |
