Today, the rock known as the Crying Rock or Niobe Rock in the foothills of Spil Mountain has been discussed since ancient times. As a result of natural wear, her head was tilted and she gained a crying female appearance. It is believed that Niobe, the daughter of Phrygian (or Lydian) Tantalus, who had lost her tears after the children she had lost through the ancient Greek mythology, has been transformed into stone here by Zeus.

According to legend, Niobe had seven daughters and seven daughters, and boasted of being more fertile than Leto, his two children (Apollo and Artemis). Leto decided to punish him for this pride and killed all the sons of Niobe and Apollo and all his daughters to Apollo. The corpses of the children were buried 10 days later by the gods. Returning to his home in Phrygia, Niobe was transformed into a boulder by Zeus, who wanted to relieve his pain, on the slope of the Spylos mountain (Spil-Manisa).
