希腊神话中的 Niobe 女王

尼奥贝是希腊神话中底比斯的女王,在古代被作为狂妄自大的典型代表,因为尼奥贝认为自己比古希腊的众神更高贵。

坦塔卢斯的女儿尼奥贝

尼俄比是底比斯的王后,因为她的丈夫是宙斯的儿子安菲翁,安菲翁从莱库斯手中夺得王位,与他的兄弟泽瑟斯并列。

重要的是,尼奥贝是 Tantalus 因此,尼奥贝当然是阿特柔斯家族中被诅咒的一员,因为尼奥贝的父亲坦塔路斯的所作所为将诅咒这个家族世世代代。

作为母亲的尼奥贝

起初,诅咒似乎绕过了尼俄比,因为坦塔卢斯的女儿和底比斯一样繁荣昌盛,而坦塔卢斯的建筑工程也是如此。 Amphion 他们有幸生下了许多孩子。

关于尼俄比的子女有多少,古代的资料并不一致,但大概在 12 到 20 个之间,底比斯女王所生的儿子和女儿数量相当。

尼奥贝的虚荣

妮奥比会给自己带来灭顶之灾,也可能是诅咒,因为傲慢会战胜她。 妮奥比会质问底比斯人为什么要崇拜看不见的神,而妮奥比自己就像任何女神一样美丽,她认为她的丈夫和她自己在底比斯的成就与神的成就等同。 妮奥比还指出,她是宙斯

尼奥贝还宣布,她比希腊的母性女神莱托更伟大,因为虽然 莱托 当然,莱托的孩子是奥林匹斯山上两位强大的神灵--阿波罗和阿耳忒弥斯。

屠杀尼奥贝的孩子们

无论是哪种说法,都是阿波罗和阿耳忒弥斯前往底比斯,并在那里放出了他们的箭。

有人说是阿波罗射杀儿子,阿耳忒弥斯射杀女儿。

大屠杀 尼奥贝的子女 虽然偶尔也有传说说他们的儿子是在西塞隆山上或城墙外的平原上被杀的,但一般都认为是在宫墙内发生的。

尼奥贝的命运

安菲翁和尼奥贝在屠杀他们的孩子时没有被杀,尽管人们通常说 Amphion 当他发现自己的孩子都死了之后,他自杀了。

宙斯把底比斯人变成了石头,以防止他们帮助不虔诚的尼俄比。 据说尼俄比本人也心神不宁,无法进行埋葬,据说在整个埋葬期间,底比斯女王一直在哭泣,一动不动,也不吃东西。

最后,据说众神自己也埋葬了尼俄比的孩子,事实上,在古代,底比斯就有一座尼俄比人的坟墓。 尼俄比自己也会离开底比斯,前往她父亲的故乡。

在西庇卢斯山上,尼奥贝会向宙斯祈祷结束她的痛苦,而作为对祈祷的回应,宙斯将尼奥贝变成了一块永远流泪的岩石;一些资料称,是阿波罗将尼奥贝变成了岩石。

尼奥贝的幸存子女

在尼俄比故事的最早版本中,尼俄比和安菲翁的孩子们在阿波罗和阿尔忒弥斯的攻击下无一幸免,但经字母修改的神话中确实有孩子因为向莱托祈祷而幸存下来。

可能有一个儿子也活了下来,这个儿子被称为 Amyclas。
