Which Titaness was the mother of Leto?

Which Titaness was the mother of Leto? Phoebe was Leto’s mother.

Phoebe was one of the primordial Titans, born to Uranus and Gaia. She was associated with intellect and prophecy and was married to her brother Coeus. Their daughters were Leto and Asteria, making Phoebe the grandmother of Apollo, Artemis, and Hecate.

Leto later became a goddess connected with motherhood and childhood. By Zeus, she gave birth to the twins Apollo and Artemis. Hera’s hostility toward Zeus’s other relationships made Leto’s pregnancy and delivery difficult in later myth, with the island of Delos becoming the celebrated birthplace of the twins.

Phoebe is sometimes mistaken for a moon goddess because “Phoebe” became an epithet of Artemis and was also linked by Roman poets with Diana or Luna. In the older Greek genealogy, however, Phoebe is primarily a Titaness, prophetic figure, and mother of Leto—not the mother of Rhea, Tethys, or Theia.
