Hera is the one who made Leto suffered

If she did know then she probably would have bragged that she had such a wonderful and easy pregnancy while Leto had to suffer

I agree

It’s Ancient Greece and she gave birth to 14 kids and was still living that is very impressive for a woman of that time

Leto was a titaness and had two babies by Zeus. Now if Leto did it while married to Zeus which I think she did. I can see why Hera went after her.

Especially her daughters after what they just saw…

Her Sons and Daughters clearly weren't that smart and brave. If not one of her Sons, at least one of her daughters should have take heart and club down her clearly insane mother. The Child will be cursed and hunted by the furies but at least the others have a chance to survive.

Of course. They were arrogant, just like their mother. And they did nothing to stop her. So they're just as guilty.

She sounds like the Exodus Pharaoh

​@@jakecarroll9500Yup.

Underrated Comment

@@katrinarobinson1037 thanks for noticing .

Facts, and a really good moral to be learned

I get a quality over quantity theme as well.

Niobe : Me and my big mouth

Yes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ancient karens 😂😂😂

@@CenturionShishKebab..... YEAH! I CAUGHT THAT!

Basically, a Becky.

Somehow Niobe reminds me of Kris Jenner

if they did this ,Artemis would have spared them ,but they didn't.

Back in the 1900s people had children like that all the time. My Grandma had 11 herself oddly enough.

Agreed

Dont let leto or hera hear that or gaia who See themselve as such

​@@spottedslash4256 My great-grandmother has 10 children too. And it's lead to I have a lot of auntie and uncle.

Have fun in Tartarus! ;)

Yet Arachne had skills to back her talk

@@akaiyoru2681 Maybe, but still, it's true that "There's a nasty price to pay for arrogance!"

Arachne was given a couple chances by Athena herself to take back what she said and both times Arachne pressed “Confront.” And when it came to the actual contest she pressed “antagonize.” Seems Niobe didn’t know when the back down either. 😅

Or just once with Fourteenuplets

@@ecurewitz I think, even Zeus would be afraid 😅

To be fair, some sources had her needing to wander across the world because Hera decree she couldn't give birth basically anywhere, stopped Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth, to help Leto so she was in labor for 9 days, and maybe also ordered a giant snake to hunt her. Funny enough, Niobe actually retold the entire event by Ovid's retelling, so she basically said, "Look a what Leto went through, aren't I so much better than her?"

Or she could have just had multiple children at the same time…

Zeus turned his dog that was born to caught anything into stone when it was up against an uncatchable fox

I'd rather be Cerberus, best boy to Hades, than being anyone or anything directly connected to Zeus.

@@adrianjamesdelfin7414 Yeah, Hades, despite a bad reputation, seems to be the best of the three brothers.

I would rather be hades/Pluto grandchild heck even his descendant then Zeus at least being related to the god of the underworld is 😎😎

I would even rather be door-holder to hades than be anything to zeus. Yk living my life peacefully, just opening doors for underworld gods for the eternity. No blasting for an action my grand smt relative did, no turning to animal bc i was born mortal, no being killed bc of god's bet or drama. Seem like a pretty good life tbh.

Do you mean themselves

@@user-sh2nv6vz6l ye sorry dnag autocorrect

Unless you are a demigod like Hercules... then you can become a local God.

Isn't comparing yourself to a god basically the definition of hurbis?

Apollo and Artemis were totally badass.

but... they *are* the real villains

@@Birkebeiner1066 Excuse me but who are referring to?

@@Birkebeiner1066 Greek mythology doesn't have viallains ,no god ot a goddess is a villain! The closest that come to my mind would be The father of mothers Typhon .

​@@user-mk3zm6fe4s It depends, the gods seen as characters tend to not be good people, even by their time there were things that they could only get away with for being gods (like cheating) as symbols and explanations to how the world came to be their moral rols becomes more complicated

@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 the point is that noone is flawless and noone is all powerful ,so it makes it more realistic. Most gods were nice to you if you showed respect which is not hard at all.

Not arrogant per se, but rather blasphemous people who indulge in hybris. Many of the stories have a clear "know your place" as moral.

Greek Gods are very much like petty humans

Apollo and Artimis are his children, so I'm guessing he sided with those closer to him. A "blood is thicker than water" kind of thing.

Tantalus is the son of Zeus, making Niobe his granddaughter

Considering Zeus murdered one of his own grandsons (Asclepius, son of Apollo), he obviously didn't care about Niobe and her 14 kids (but he did turn Niobe into a rock that "continuously weeps"). Zeus also told Ares that if he wasn't Zeus' own flesh and blood, he'd have thrown the God of War into Tartarus a long time ago. A+ parenting there, Zeus.

@@LyraBarnes well Ares is a monster but your not wrong.

@@tut28Angel have you met his parents? 😂

fr

Yeah, least if you had power to manipulation weather. If not then you are fool to think you can equal match to gods.

You need to understand the time and culture. In most of history children where seen as a sort of extention of their parents.

@@JonathanGhost42 i understand that things were different back then and that most of human history has been a bloodbath but i just have a hard time seeing it from that perspective

@@Ladazotz Fair enough.

I mean, all the greek gods are op, ever Persephone can turn people into plants

@@user-fl3oc1bw3u Koalemos can't do anything.

@@degstoll Yeah but some think that he wasn’t really a god

The Sun God is Helios, not Apollo

they didn't do anything ,exatcly !! Why didn't they defend Leto ,why didn't they punished their mother ??? The gods would have never killed them if they showed loyathy to the gods and stood against their arrogant mother!

​@@user-mk3zm6fe4s Hippolytus was loyal to Artemis all the time and he was still killed unfairly, gods didn't care of being fair with their punishments most of the time, also it's ridiculous even if they didn't went outright against their mother they didn't deserve to die for a crime that wasn't theirs on the first place

@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 hippolytus disrespected Aphrodite, he didn't give gifts and honours to the goddess atleast that is what i know about him .

@@user-mk3zm6fe4s Because people give honours and gifts to the the gods in return for their service in giving them what they need, the punishment a god can put for not being adore it's simply not giving them what they need anymore, Hyppolytus didn't need love, he never asked anything from Aphrodite yet she took this as a personal offense to her and decided to punish him

@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 also i will remind you that in ancient greece the twelve olympians had major celebrations at least ones an year where everyone was required to give thanks and honours to the specific god or a goddess . He might not be in love but he was born from the union of a male and a female ,Aphrodite is believed to make all couples so it thanks to her that he was born . Aphrodite doesn't ask for much justva little repect and adoration and some offerings. A goddess as magnificent as her deserves more.

A titan is just another form of deity in greek mythology. Seeing at the myths there is not really some physical or psychological difference between this gods.

A titan is like a surname they have ,olympian is a surname aswell . Gaea gave her 12 children the surname titans but they looked just like any other god and goddess ,so no they were not giants . There are giants but they were not considered dieties.

@@user-mk3zm6fe4s One could say that it is more like a group or faction.

The version i knew Artemis also killed the daughter's with arrows

Nah Eros was a serious mommas boy. He went everywhere with his momma. Apollo was just protecting his mothers honor. Leto don’t bother nobody. Her and Maia are the most quiet of all Zeus baby mommas.

The queen's father was also a child of Zeus

There’s two types of BIG MOUTH she has

Could be mostly because they are in mythology related to the gods and also forget their natural place, when they rule above other mortals and indulge in the idea to be more like the gods than their subjects.

@@JonathanGhost42 or it's just there trying to be something that they're not - so they can have more power over people & this goes for a lot of ancient cultures as well

@@-RONNIE Oh, I was speaking more from a perspektive from the mythology. But yes, in the real world it was and is so.

@@JonathanGhost42 I know you was talkin about mythology but it's kind of a coincidence that people from ancient cultures and even more modern monarchs do the same thing kind of. Nice talking to you 👍🏻

At least her brother Pellopas have better fate.

Yeah

Like father, like daughter.

yeah but respect

and that's why she received a punishment WORSE than death

That’s like 60% of characters in Greek mythology, to be fair.

No, Tantalus wasn't Zeus son. But the husband of Niobe, Aphion, was

They known this hurt her most since she was so Proud of them i mean she made leto cry to so

Leto hadnt the nicest Life thanks Ro hera Zeus had 7 wifes hera was the last but if metis Would be their hera wouldnt even have anything to say as his first wife sie didnt harm unlike her

Yeah, and in one version the youngest son and youngest daughter are left alive due to their innocence.

She paid the ultimate price for that

Yeah but why would they

Also don't be related to people with hubris
