Amphion wos the son jr Zethus, he wos exposed at birth on Mount CTfhaeron, where the two ot them together grew up with the shepherds, knowing nothing of their parents. Mercury gave Amphion a lyre and taught him to play it; his brother occupied himself in hunting and tending the flocks. Meanwhile Antiope, their mother, having been treated very cruelly by the usurping king of her kingdom, found a rway to tell the boys of their rights and to summon them to her assistance. They gathered together a few of their fellow-herdsmen and attacked the would-be king. Amphion killed him. Amphion was one of the greatest musicians of the gods. When he played on his harp, all nature listened and grew . When he played on his lyre, all the stones of a wall he was building moved right into place of their own accord. He could charm the snakes and make them lie still and harmless, and his music was the sweetest ever heard by man or beast. Amphion married Niobe, and they had seven sons and seven daughters. Niobe boasted of them, and a, o result, they were all killed by the ongry gods. When Amphion sow what hod been done to his beloved children, he killed himself. Niobe, though, was so grief-stricken that she turned to «one. A continual stream of tears flowed from her eyes os she mourned for her lost children and husband. 1
