Letoon Nymphaeum 5349.jpg

view map

At the edge of the Nymphaeum, which has a half-round edge. It lies on the site of a much older sanctuary for the nymphs, where Leto stopped to drink after having delivered Artemis and Apollo. Frogs were providing a constant background sound which was fitting because she was supposed to have turned peasants who refused her to allow her to drink water from a pond into frogs.
