She became the lover of Apollo and by him the mother of Anius.
When her father discovered her pregnancy, he believed she was impregnated by a man rather than a god.
He placed her in a chest and cast her out to sea ( parallel to Danae and Perseus ).
She landed on the island of Delos, which was sacred to Apollo.
She gave birth to a son on the island and named him Anius ( as if from " to suffer "); she then put him on the altar of Apollo and prayed to the god that the baby be saved if it was his.
Apollo concealed the child for some time, taught him the art of divination and granted him with certain honors.
