In Greek mythology, Amaleus is the name of the eldest of the Niobids, the twelve or fourteen children of Amphion, king of Thebes, by his wife Queen Niobe. The Niobids are primarily notable for the myth of Niobe's blasphemous boast against the goddess Leto about being a more successful mother than her for having more children. Leto's offspring, the deities Artemis and Apollo, punished the queen by shooting all of her children dead; Apollo killed the boys.
