The Fountain of Latona, Versailles, France

Latona (or: in greek Leto) was a goddess who fell in love with Zeus. She was pregnant, but Zeus' wife Hera was jealous. Leto gave birth to Apoll and Artemis and flew from Hera again. In Lydia the people banned her from drinking water. Zeus transformed them to frogs.

When Louis XIV was a child, he had to flew with his mother Anne d'Autriche and his younger brother Philippe from rebellions in Paris (the so-called Fronde). This fountain is a symbol for the fate.
