Thebes until she showed her arrogance to the gods. She thought herself strong enough not only to deceive the gods as her father had tried to, but to openly defy them” (349). Niobe gathered the people of her city and told them to worship her instead of Leto. Leto only had Apollo and Artemis, while Niobe had fourteen. Niobe was queen and Leto was homeless until Delos welcomed her. “I am happy, strong, great- to great for any, men or god, to do me harm” (349). Of course the gods proved her wrong. With their deadly bows and arrows, Apollo and Artemis shot and killed all of Niobe’s children.
Niobe watched them die and wept in sorrow. She then was turned into a stone, always wet with her tears. In Mythology by Edith Hamilton, mortals can make many mistakes. The folly of hubris was the offense most despised by the gods. A sure way to suffer would be to think thoughts too dangerous for men and defy the gods in actions. A human who thought themself equal or better than the gods was brtually punished for their arrogance. Bellerophon, Salmoneus, and Niobe all learned the error of their ways and were severly punnished for their foll of hubris.
