Leto, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe, gave birth to Artemis and Apollo, children of Zeus, on Delos. Fleeing the wrath of Hera, Leto passed through Lycia. When she tried to drink from a well the local peasants stirred up mud to make the water undrinkable, so Leto turned them all into frogs. The central fountain in the terrace garden of Versailles depicts this scene.
