According to Greek mythology, Niobe was the daughter of Tantalus, the king of Sipylus in Lydia. Her husband was Amphion, the king of Thebes. Niobe boasted that she was greater than Leto, the Titan who had only two children, Apollo and Artemis. Furious at such a boast and seeing it as an insult to their mother, Apollo killed all of Niobe's six sons and Artemis killed all of Niobe's six daughters, so the myth goes. Niobe was then turned into a rock on Mount Sipylus and there she weeps as the snow melts from above, as seen in this illustration.
