Niobidae
Previous fabula: Chloris (Fabula 10). This page is Fabula 11 only. It is headed, in Latin, NIOBIDAE — “The Children of Niobe”. Latin and English are given paragraph by paragraph, so each paragraph can be checked against the other. Further fabulae are added as they are finished; see the Hyginus index.

Tantalus, Ismenus, Eupinytus, Phaedimus, Sipylus, Damasichthon, Archenor: Neaera, Phthia, [de] Chloris, Astycratia, †siboe, Eudoxa, Ogygia. These are the sons and daughters of Niobe, wife of Amphion.
Notes
- The list: seven sons, then seven daughters, matching the seven sons and as many daughters of Fabula 9, paragraph 2. Packhum supplements: Eupin<yt>us, Sip<y>lus, <Dama>sichtho<n>, <Neaera Phth>ia, Asty<c>ratia, Og<y>gia. †siboe is marked corrupt in Packhum, its meaning not guessed.
- [de] Chloris: de is bracketed in Packhum and is shown bracketed in the English, so it is not mistaken for part of the name. The Latin here gives the full form, as elsewhere in this translation.
- Edition check, still open: this Latin text has not yet been checked against a printed critical edition; the points above were checked against the Packhum online text.
Next fabula: Pelias (Fabula 12). Corrections are welcome via the contact form; please say which paragraph you mean.
