Niobe claimed that she was better than Leto, the mother of Artemis and Apollo, because she had seven sons and seven daughters while Leto only had one of each. To avenge their mother, Artemis and Apollo killed Niobe's children, Artemis targeting the girls and Apollo targeting the boys.
Niobe was the queen of Thebes who bragged that she was better than Leto, the mother of Artemis and Apollo, because she had seven sons and seven daughters while Leto only had one of each. To avenge their mother's honor, Apollo killed the seven sons and Artemis killed the seven daughters. Because Niobe was so grieve stricken, the gods changed her into a rock.
The daughter's name is Niobe. She boasts to Leto that she is more blessed because she has more children than her. In some versions, Niobe pokes fun that Artemis dresses like a man. Outraged Leto sends her children, Artemis and Apollo, to attack Niobe's children. Artemis kills Niobe's daughters and Apollo kills Niobe's sons. In most accounts, all of the children die except for one or two. Niobe, sadden, travels to the top of a mountain and cries until she turns into a stone with her tears flowing as rivers.
Artemis the Greek goddess was free to roam the wilderness, she had no husband or sons to tie her to other obligations.
