However, this was just the beginning... Thebes could be considered one of the most troubled city-states in the history of the Mortal Realm, whether it was an act of clandestine vengeance by the Goddess of Beauty or possibly instructed by the Divine King himself.
Just like the queen Laine just mentioned, in an era where having many children was seen as a capability, that woman who had given birth to seven sons and seven daughters had once been proud and complacent. She even thought that the gods were nothing special.
That was the case with the black-robed Goddess Leto in the heavens, who had only one son, Apollo.
That's what she thought and so she said to her entourage, and then, unfortunately, Leto overheard. Enraged by the sting to her pride, the Goddess of Titans sent her son to use his unparalleled archery skills to shoot dead the queen's seven sons one by one and then in front of her to shoot dead her seven daughters.
