Marsyas and Appolo

Here is a typical outcome of a contest between mortals and the gods. Marsyas was a great flute player who thought he was so good that he could challenge Apollo, the god of music, to a contest. Marsyas lost (of course) and was sentenced by Apollo to be tied to a tree and flayed alive for his presumption in challenging an immortal. Apollo is shown leaning on his kithara.
