Notes

ruler in royal palace of Cadmus. Niobe boasted that she was greater than Leto, 
because she had many children, whereas Leto only had two.  Leto, enraged, directed 
Apollo to kill all the sons  and Artemis to kill all the daughters.  Of the males, Amphion 
the father was saved.  Niobe was turned into a stone, and tears flow night and day 
from this stone. The stone is located on Mount Sipylus, near the ancient city of 
Magnesia ad Sipylum (now Manisa), about 20 miles northeast of the city of Izmir (the 
ancient Smyrna)
