	Mount Sipylus
		In Greek mythology, Mount Sipylus northeast of Smyrna in Lydia (southwestern Anatolia, now Turkey) was the region ruled by Tantalus.
		Electrum, a natural compound of gold and silver, found in the region made the cities of Lydia rich.
		In historic times, Mount Sipylus rose above the site of Magnesia ad Sipylum (modern Manisa is close by), on the Hermus River which was (190 BC) the scene of the defeat of Antiochus III "the Great" by the Romans, at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC.

	Tantalus - LoveToKnow 1911
		He was the traditional king of Sipylus in Lydia (or of Phrygia), and was the intimate friend of Zeus and the other gods, to whose table he was admitted.
		The tomb of Tantalus on Mount Sipylus was pointed out in antiquity, and has been in modern times identified by C. Texier with the great cairn beneath Old Magnesia; but Sir W. Ramsay inclines to a remarkable rock-cut tomb beside Magnesia.
		The story of Tantalus is an echo of a semi-Greek kingdom, which had its seat at Sipylus, the oldest and holiest city of Lydia, the remains of which are still visible.

	Niobe - LoveToKnow 1911
		Their bodies lay for nine days unburied, for Zeus had changed the people to stone; on the tenth day they were buried by the gods.
		It is to be distinguished from an archaic figure still visible, carved in the northern side of the mountain near Magnesia, to which tradition has given the name of Niobe, but which is really intended for Cybele.
		The tragedians used her story to point the moral of the instability of human happiness; Niobe became the representative of human nature, liable to pride in prosperity and forgetfulness of the respect and submission due to the gods.
