Apollo was born on the little island of Delos. The reason Apollo was born here is because Hera became jealous and pursued Leto (his mother) from bringing him into the world on earth. So Leto was forced to go to the barren island of Delos to have her twins, Apollo and Artemis. Artemis was Apollo’s twin sister, his mother was Leto, and his father was Zeus. When Apollo was born a group of swans encircled the island, and now swans are one of his most sacred animals.

[79] Captain America's strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, durability, and healing are at the zenith of natural human potential.
