Mount Cynthus is located on the isle of Delos, part of the Greek Cyclades.

In Greek mythology, Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis on this island having been shunned by Zeus' wife Hera who was extremely jealous of his liaison with Leto.

In modern times, this island is a major archaeological site and a favoured tourist spot.
