The Lament of Niobeby ~Jennifurret

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

This is one of my favorite pieces so far this year, yet another member of my Greek mythology series. Niobe bragged that having fourteen children made her a better mother than Leto. Leto's children, which just happened to be Artemis and Apollo, got revenge by killing all of Niobe's children (whoops). Niobe was so upset that she went to the top of a mountain and cried until she turned to stone.

This won Best of Show at my high school art show.

I would really like if somebody could explain to me why all the heroes of mythology were a bunch of complete bastards, while the villains and monsters are nearly always tragic figures who were either in the wrong place at the wrong time, or had the misfortune to piss off one of the many petty gods.
By the way, nice work.

~Jennifurret Jun 25, 2008

When you think of it, are modern heroes and villains much different?

Thanks for the fave!

~EAMONN-RYAN Jun 25, 2008

Quite true, and you are most welcome.
