EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library depicts the tragic myth of Marsyas and Apollo. In this classical tale, the satyr Marsyas boldly challenges the god Apollo to a musical contest, believing himself to be a superior flautist. However, after losing the competition, Apollo cruelly flays Marsyas alive as punishment for his hubris.
The image captures the moment of reckoning as Apollo stands triumphant over Marsyas, who is depicted in agony. Surrounding them are nymphs mourning the fate of their friend, their tears flowing so profusely that they create a river beneath them.
The scene is filled with emotion and drama, highlighting the consequences of pride and arrogance in Greek mythology. The contrast between Apollo's cold victory and the sorrowful lamentation of the nymphs creates a powerful visual narrative that draws viewers into this tragic tale.
Mary Evans Prints Online has masterfully captured this iconic moment from ancient history, bringing to life a story that continues to resonate with audiences today. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of myth and legend in shaping our understanding of human nature and morality.
