Marsyas #55543330
Description
In Greek mythology, the satyr Marsyas (/ÃËmÃârsiÃâ¢s/; Greek: ÃÅñÃÂÃÆÃÂñÃâ) is a central figure in two stories involving death: in one, he picked up the double flute (aulos) that had been abandoned by Athena and played it; in the other, he challenged Apollo to a contest of music and lost his hide and life. In Antiquity, literary sources often emphasise the hubris of Marsyas and the justice of his punishment.
