NIOBE

Niobe was from a combination of Tantalus with Eunassa, the daughter of the river Sartçayı / Paktolos born and it is a creation of Kybelekultes. She was born on Sipyl mountains and lived there.

According to the classical Greek mythology, she married the King of Thebes, Amphion. The relationship between Niobe, a symbol of the local Muttergottkultes with Thebes and Amphion is doubtful. Also in this story, we see an example of how the Hellenes elements aneigneten Anatolian culture. Amphion is the son of Zeus and the beautiful daughter of King Thebischen Nycteus. He grew up with his brother in the mountains, with the herders. Apollo saw that the child talent for music, and gave him a Lyra.

The music was Lydiens the substance from which the forecasts. This music, the music Griechlands and Rome has influenced first sounded at the wedding of Amphions and Niobe by Amphion and was brought to Greece, as erzäht. And the Greeks do not hide that they are their instruments and melodies owe to Anatolia. The art, and friendly linde Aphion and the daughter of Tantalus, Niobe, a glücklches life and with all twelve children blessed. It also means the Niobe, since it is based on the mountains Sipylos lived with the goddess Leto friends. It is also behautet, Leto was Lykiens the goddess and her name from the word Lycian Lada / Women come. The combination of Titan Leto daughter with Zeus Apollo and Artemis were born. The Leto gave birth to the Apollon of Zeus And the Artemis, the goddess arrows schleudernde In Uranus, these beautiful grandchildren, Leto was in the arms of Zeus' pregnant with them. The Niobe compared with the Leto with the beautiful cheeks. Said, Leto gave birth to two Kinnder, I but a dozen.

The no power their children could entreiißen their hands on this assertion and the larger number of their children based their claim. Therefore, it is mentioned happy and blessed. With their thoughts like this, as we in the history of the Solons read, the Croesus, that they are measured with gods, it is possible their father Tantalus ... Finally, Leto heard by the words they schmähenden the Niobe darob and was saddened, angered and called Apollo and Artemis to. She said that this abuse against itself would impose on their dignity and be gods wish to punish the Niobe. Phoibe and Koios ipakipagtalo each other. And for the love of God, this goddess The Leto was born, with the blue head scarf, The birth tenderheartedly Leto The sweet nature of their most famous Olympos, The people and the gods open Leto.

Accordingly, Leto had a right to cross. Or the Niobe Leto, the once angry now. Leto had only two children, but they were both gods. In addition, she had the children born with great difficulty. As Zeus she saw, he fell in love with her, they frönten a while love, but as Leto was pregnant, is spared from the Eifesucht Zeus nörgelnden his wife Hera and left the Leto. But the approach did not Leto alone. None of the above approach feared the anger, half of Leto, on the contrary, they made their difficulties rather than to ask. On the karstic and rocky island of Delos promised one of Leto, their children Apollo and Artemis to build a temple and, after a anfderen tradition brought the first Leto Apollon, the Artemis to the world. For nine days and nine nights she was in labour.

The accident of Niobe begins with the Zorm the Leto. We listen the story of Homer: The Niobe with the beautiful hair came to mind to eat. These were the twelve children died in the palace, Six girls and six boys in young age. Apollon zürnte the Niobe Had killed her sons with his silver bow. And their daughters killed the Bogenschützin Artemis Niobe had with the schönwangigen compared Leto said Leto gave birth to two children, I do a dozen.

Two, Apollo and Artemis, killing them all. The corpses were and have remained in their blood There was no one to bury them, All had transformed into stone of the Kronos' son The gods of heaven buried the dead on the tenth day Also that day, the Niobe in the sense to eat It was she tired to cry tears.

Today, on the rocks of Sipylos, at the abandoned Summit Akhelos On the banks of the river, where the nymphs play Are their camps, they say yes, just there, It was at the behest of the gods to stone the Niobe, Keep your heart pain. Today, we can at Manisa Berg / Sipylos near Manisa and at the place that we now know as the reservoir, the petrified with the Niobe from her eyes caves rinnenden water. This rock, and buildings as a meaningless stone appears far from resembles a petrified wife and is regarded as a concrete testimony of a three thousand years old story.

The mythology that is one of the attributes of the Artemis "Strafenden", after the daughters of Niobe has also killed the Amphion, probably because he married a woman Anatolian and a "sex verkehrtes created". Here we do not want to explain that the name Artemis lydischen from the language comes from. But the Artemis, the Kindfer the Niobe killed, the Anatolian Artemis, a symbol of motherhood. It is the "Strafende" and "Jungfräuliche" Greek Artemis, this cruel, vengeful murder them.
