      Leto was a titaness and had two babies by Zeus. Now if Leto did it while married to Zeus which I think she did. I can see why Hera went after her.

      If not one of her Sons, at least one of her daughters should have take heart and club down her clearly insane mother.

      Funny enough, Niobe actually retold the entire event by Ovid's retelling, so she basically said, "Look a what Leto went through, aren't I so much better than her?"

    A recurring theme in Greek mythology especially is the dangers of pride. When we let pride become the all-encompassing emotion, it always leads to a painful downfall. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your work or in someone like your children. However, when you let pride be the driving force of everything, it quickly makes enemies. A very wise man said, "Pride is more concerned with WHO is right. Humility is more concerned with WHAT is right."
