Niobe
Niobe (Νιόβη) is a mortal woman in
Greek mythology, daughter of
Tantalus and
Euryanassa,
Eurythemista,
Clytia,
Dione, or
Laodice, and the wife of
Amphion of
Thebes. She boasted of her superiority to
Leto because while the goddess had only two children, the twins Apollo and Artemis, Niobe had fourteen children (the
Niobids), seven male and seven female,
Apollo killed her sons as they practiced athletics, with the last begging for his life (Apollo would have spared his life, but had already released the arrow), and
Artemis killed her daughters. Apollo and Artemis used poisoned arrows to kill them, though according to some versions a number of the Niobids were spared (
Chloris, usually). Amphion, at the sight of his dead sons, either killed himself or was killed by Apollo after swearing revenge. A devastated Niobe fled to
Mount Sipylus of
Lydia in
Anatolia and turned into stone as she wept, or committed suicide. Spil Mount has a rock resembling a female face on it that the locals attributed to
Broteas and claimed was Niobe, though it was probably originally intended to be
Cybele. The stone is said to have wept tears during the summer. The rock appears to weep because it is porous
limestone and rainwater seeps through the s.

Niobe
Niobe - w
greckiej mitologii córka
Tantala i Tajgety, żona króla
Teb Amfiona, siostra
Pelopsa, matka 7 córek i 7 synów, zwanych
Niobidami. Obraziła bogów swoją pychą. Szczyciła się posiadaniem licznego potomstwa i wynosiła się ponad Latonę (
Leto), matkę
Apollina i
Artemidy. Zniewagę Leto pomściły jej dzieci, zabijając Niobidów z łuków na oczach Niobe. Po tym zdarzeniu bardzo rozpaczającą Niobe
Zeus zamienił w skałę (
góra Sipylos w
Azji Mniejszej). Interpretowane jest to jako skamienienie z rozpaczy i bólu. Jest to częsty motyw w sztuce
antycznej (
dramat m.in.
Ajschylos,
Sofokles,
rzeźba, malarstwo wazowe) oraz współczesnej (
J. L. David,
Tintoretto).

Niobe
Niobe è un personaggio della
mitologia greca Figlia di
Tantalo, sorella di
Pelope, sposò
Anfione, re di Tebe, da cui ebbe sette figli e sette figlie. Ella era così orgogliosa di loro che ardì burlarsi della dea Latona, che aveva avuto solo due figli, i gemelli Apollo e Artemide. Latona allora incaricò i suoi figli di vendicare l'offesa, ed essi, con le loro frecce, Apollo mirando ai fanciulli, e Artemide alle fanciulle, uccisero i figli di Niobe. Gli unici due figli di Niobe a salvarsi furono
Cloride e Amicla. Secondo l'
Iliade di
Omero i giovani uccisi rimasero insepolti per dieci giorni, finché gli dei stessi non si occuparono della tumulazione. Secondo quanto narra
Ovidio, Niobe, in lacrime, si tramutò in blocco di marmo dal quale scaturì una fonte. In una roccia che si trova sul monte Sipilo in
Lidia, presso Magnesia, si è voluta scorgere la Niobe divenuta pietra.
