Niobe angers the gods by boasting about her superiority to Leto, the mother of Apollo and Artemis, because she has fourteen children (the Niobids) compared to Leto's two. In response to her hubris, Apollo and Artemis unleash their wrath by killing all of Niobe's children. Overcome with grief and despair, Niobe is ultimately turned into stone, forever weeping for her lost offspring.
