What is Artemis' origin story?

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and childbirth, is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. Her birth story is marked by her mother's struggles, as Leto was pursued by the jealous Hera and had to find refuge on the island of Delos to give birth. Artemis emerged first and assisted in the childbirth of her brother Apollo, establishing her role as a protector of women in labor. She is often depicted as a fierce and independent deity, symbolizing purity and strength.
