| | Niobids - definition of Niobids in Encyclopedia |
| | Zeus had turned all the people of Thebes to stone and so no one buried the Niobids until the ninth day after their death, when the gods themselves entombed them. | | | A mortal woman in Greek mythology, Niobe, daughter of Tantalus and either Euryanassa, Eurythemista, Clytia, Dione, or Laodice, and the wife of Amphion, boasted of her superiority to Leto because she had fourteen children (Niobids), seven male and seven female, while Leto had only two. | | | 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, her daughters. |

| | The Massacre of the Niobids by CAMASSEI, Andrea |
| | Poussin was the most authoritative representative of this movement, and indeed the figure reclining at the left of Camassei's Massacre of the Niobids seems to derive directly from a counterpart in Poussin's Death of Adonis. | | | Later, between the end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries, they were transferred to the Palazzo Barberini alle Quattro Fontane, where they were definitively recorded in 1817. | | | The dramatic narrative of the Niobids, in which the mortal Niobe is punished for insulting the goddess Latona, comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. |
