Atleast she has an element named after her. Niobium is named after niobe, just as tantalum was named after tantalus. The chemist who sorta second discovered it also discovered other alloys he mistakenly thought to be elements which he named after pelops, the other son of tantalus, whos also father of atreus and by extension the grandfather of Agamemnon I just found your channel now and its super cool. Honestly i was surprised at how underrated you are. Looking forward to new vids
Yep, gods never mess around, and greek gods in special are very vengeful, from turning a girl into salt, to having an eagle eat the insides of a titan every day, and now this, geez, and people usually say aztec and norse gods were vicious, but greeks are something else, man... Btw, a very late happy new year, Zaireeto, I hope nothing but the best for you.🤙🏽
In fiction, it's not uncommon for characters to be too dumb to live. But in Greek Mythology, you can actually be dumb enough to cause the death of your entire family. (Niobe doesn't even hold the record. Aegyptus caused the death of 49 of his 50 sons by telling them to marry the Danaids, who were, shall we say, less than happy about it.)
@@zaireeto "The Suppliants" is an interesting play. Of all the Greek tragedies that have reached us, it's the only one where the chorus plays the protagonists (in "The Eumenides", it plays the antagonists, but the rest of the time, it does little but comment on the action). Unfortunately, "The Suppliants" must have been the first part of a trilogy and the rest is lost to us.
You'd think Niobe would know better, given her brother was the lover of a god for quite some time. I'll let people do their own research on that 😂

Oh that is really cool! I didn't know. In my language we localise it ro Niob and Tantal and I just never connected the dots :D
Thank you!
I always love watching your videos! You make mythology very fun to learn and your art gives it a great life❤💙!
Thank you so much!! This is so sweet ❤️❤️
Amo este estilo de dibujo, además de que la voz me parece bastante agradable
Muchas Gracias

Thank you!!
So that is what the Apostles were casting out in their travels.
Whoo!
🥳🥳
i didn't know the details about Niobe's lineage, that's super interesting!
She has a reason to boast :D
@zaireeto it really does do a lot to explain where her hubris comes from!

Yup definitely
People sometimes leave them out, but I haven't seen pettier gods (affectionate)
Happy late new year to you too! (:
