 Ode aux sites antiques
La légende est reprise par exemple par le poète latin Ovide, pour qui la déesse Léto, après avoir donné naissance sur l’île de Délos aux jumeaux Apollon et Artémis, qu’elle avait eu de Zeus, en fut chassée par l’épouse jalouse de Zeus, Héra.
La signification à la fois religieuse et politique de ces représentations est évidente : la lyre et l’arc renvoient au dieu Apollon, et d’autre part la lyre figure sur les monnaies de la Ligue lycienne.
Probablement sous l’impulsion de dynastes philhellènes, des temples sont construits et dédiés à trois divinités grecques, Léto, Artémis et Apollon, qui sont certainement assimilés à partir du panthéon lycien (Letô, par exemple, peut être identifiée avec Cybèle).
