Niobe is a mortal figure in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Tantalos and married to King Amphion, a son of the god Zeus. Niobe ordered the people of Thebes to worship her instead of the goddess Leto, who only had two children. With her hubris Niobe defied the gods. Thereupon the children of Leto, Apollo and Artemis, killed Niobe's children.
On this drama are dead bodies of men and women, murdered with arrows. The bodies are naked and little concealed, so that legs, torsos and breasts are on the portrait.
The gods sit on the clouds with their arrows and shoot at the men and women.
