In Roman mythology, Niobe, the queen of Thebes, boasted that she was better than the goddess Latona (Leto in Greek mythology) because she had seven sons and seven daughters, while Latona only had one of each. To avenge their mother's honor, Latona's twins, the god Apollo and the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology), killed Niobe's children. Apollo killed the seven sons and Diana killed the seven daughters. Niobe grieved so much that her grandfather Zeus took pity on her and turned her into an unfeeling rock. That rock still had a spring of water coming from it.
