Description According to the Greek mythology, Niobe 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 Niobe's 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 Niobe's daughters. Apollo and Artemis used poisoned arrows to kill them, though according to some versions at least one Niobid was spared, (usually Meliboea). Here is shown one of Niobe's daughters as she attempts to remove the arrow from her back. Found int he National Museum of Rome in Rome, Italy.
Michael Hays, Morgantown wV Member Since March 2008 Artist Statement I am a poor medical student with a love for photography and art. The bulk of my money goes to tuition, so I can't really afford a lot of equipment. By selling some of my images here, I'm really just hoping to at least partially subsidize my hobby.
