	Cleobis and Biton, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Cleobis and Biton (also called Cleops and Bitias 2), who are said to have surpassed all men in brotherly love and in affection towards their mother, are remembered for having performed a noble deed, which justified the pious prayer that caused their death.
		Being exhausted after performing such a huge effort, Cleobis and Biton lay down in the temple and went to sleep, while their mother Cydippe 2, whom many had congratulated for having borne such children, prayed to Hera to grant her children whatever was the best thing a man could receive.
		It is added, however, that they died, after the aforementioned prayer, on their return to Argos, and that Cydippe 2, realizing that there was nothing better for mortals than to die, died herself a willing death.

	Kleobis and Biton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Biton and Kleobis were Argives, the sons of Cydippe, a priestess of Hera.
