Leto: The Original Greek Wolf Goddess
It's no wonder Artemis is thought to have wolves in her compendium of animal guardians and helpers, as Artemis' mother in Greek mythology was Leto. Leto was born on the island of Kos and her parents were Titans. Leto had relations with Zeus and gave birth to Artemis and Apollo. She was a goddess of womanhood and motherhood, and thus the birth of Apollo and Artemis are significant to the Leto myth. The legend says that Leto labored for days to deliver the twins Artemis and Apollo – this is related to wolves' difficult delivery of their young. The journey that Leto took from the Hyperboreoi to Delos took twelve days, which is the time it took for wolves to deliver their young in Greek mythology. This made her one of the Greek wolf goddesses. She might have been the original Greek wolf goddess!

Leto the She-Wolf
Leto was also believed to have had the ability to shift into the form of a wolf. Sometimes she was said to have been a she-wolf and so is linked to Lycia a.k.a. wolf-country. Leto honored and adored wolves because they were thought to have provided her assistance in her times of need.


Leto did perfectly while she was paired with her best buddy. Things changed when Deirdre 🏹 asked her to work with another pup and step out of her comfort zone.

Gently, Leto put some medicine on Archie's cut like Deirdre showed her. Deirdre wagged her tail in approval once Leto had finished.

In the lesson, Leto balanced on a pointy, narrow rock and tried not to let her paws slip off. Learning how to keep your balance on rough terrain can be difficult, but Deirdre assured Leto that it is necessary if she wants to be a successful scout.
