Niobe (Argive)

In Greek mythology, Niobe (Ancient Greek: Νιόβη) was a daughter of Phoroneus and the mother by Zeus of Argus, who was the eponym of Argos^[1] and sometimes, Pelasgus.^[2] She is not to be confused with the more famous Niobe, who was punished for boasting that she had more children than Leto.^[3] According to Pausanias, the Argives of his day said that she had a daughter named Meliboea, later called Chloris, a statue of whom Praxiteles had crafted for the Sanctuary of Leto in Argos.^[4]
