| | Marsyas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Since the contest was judged by the Muses, Marsyas naturally lost and was flayed alive in a cave near Calaenae in Phrygia for his hubris to challenge a god. | | | However, Apollo replied that when Marsyas blew into the pipes, he was doing almost the same thing as himself. | | | The contest of Apollo and Marsyas is seen as symbolizing the eternal struggle between the Apollonian and Dionysian aspects of human nature. |

| | Marsyas, a shepherd, son of Oeagrus, one of the Satyri, found them, and by practicing assiduously kept making sweeter sounds day by day, so that he challenged Apollo to play the lure in a contest with him. | | | And here is laid the scene of the myth of Olympos and of Marsyas and of the contest between Marsyas and Apollon. | | | The countryfolk, the Numina Silvarum [Sylvan Deities], the Fauni [Panes] and brother Satyri and the Nymphae, were all in tears, Olympus too, still loved, and every swain who fed his fleecy flocks and long-horned cattle on those mountainsides. |

| | When one is confronted by Marsyas, portals to parallel universes come to mind. | | | Marsyas is a figure from Greek mythology, a satyr flayed by the god Apollo for daring to play a piece of music, on the flute, better than Apollo himself. | | | There's a whole story there, in that artists don't dare make a piece of art more beautiful than the gods could make. |

| | Marsyas - Wikipédia |
| | Dans la mythologie grecque, Marsyas (en grec ancien Μαρσύας), fils d'Olympos (ou d'Œagre selon certaines versions, qui font d'Olympos un simple disciple) et d'Hyagnis, est un satyre phrygien. | | | Pour avoir tranché en faveur de Marsyas, le roi Midas reçoit pour sa part une paire d'oreilles d'âne. | | | Pour punir Marsyas de sa démesure (ὓϐρις / hubris, fait d'avoir défié un dieu), l'Archer le fait écorcher, et jette sa dépouille dans une grotte, d'où coule une rivière, qui prendra le nom du satyre. |

| | It also seems doubtful, given the ominous appearance of the dragon and skull, that the painter would have introduced numbers which referred to the life of the patron. | | | The Milan Marsyas Painter was probably active in Urbino between ca.1525 and ca.1535 (according to Mallet), and worked in a style that is unmistakably influenced by Nicola da Urbino, although he also shows knowledge of the work of Xanto Avelli, with whom on several occasions he evidently "shared" printed sources for his figure drawing. | | | Although this judgement appears harsh, Robinson, who did not procede to analyze Xanto's working method as we now do, or to appreciate other aspects of his artistry, was responding to this undeniable lack of freedom in his figure drawing. |
