Myth:Artemis, Apollo, and The Tears of Niobe

# data[].attributes.body
Niobe, wife of Amphion, King of Thebes, had 14 children. Since they had so many children, Niobe said that she was superior comparing to Leto. Leto only had two children who are Apollo and Artemis. Therefore, Leto wanted to revenge by having Apollo to kill all Niobe's male children, and Artemis to take away lives of the females children. The 14 deaths were not buried for 9 days because King of God Zeus would turn anyone into stone if they did. Amphion was in grief and committed suicide. Niobe begged for death after she resorted in city of Near East. The gods sympathized and turned her into stone. Every summer after, one would see tears pours on the stone's cheek.
