Marsyas is best known in Greek and Roman mythology for his
hubris. He was said to have challenged the god Apollo to a con-
test playing the flute, the victor getting to decide whatever pun-
ishment the loser would receive. Naturally, Apollo won the
contest, and as punishment for having dared challenged him he
flayed Marsyas alive.
