SUMMARY
The satyr Marsyas challenges Apollon to a musical contest. He sits on a rock playing his double-flute, and is shown with the features common to his kind: pug nose, horse's tail and ears. Beside him stands Apollon holding a laurel branch staff, and to either side a pair of Mousai (Muses), one holding a lyre, the other a scroll box, who have been appointed as judges in the contest.
