Statue Of The Satyr Marsyas From Tarsos

Statue Of The Satyr Marsyas From Tarsos

This image showcases a marble statue of Marsyas, the Phrygian satyr of Greek mythology, isolated against a black background, which dramatically highlights the fine details of the sculpture. The statue, carved during the Roman period in the 3rd century BCE, depicts Marsyas in a moment of dynamic tension, capturing the mythological story of his ill-fated challenge to the god Apollo with his flute. The craftsmanship of the statue is evident in the intricate rendering of Marsyas’s anatomy, facial expression, and satyr-like features, which convey both his mortal vulnerability and his mythological essence. The marble surface bears the marks of age, with a smooth yet weathered texture that speaks to its ancient origin. This artifact originates from Tarsos (modern Tarsus) in Mersin, Turkey, a region rich in historical significance. The black background isolates the statue, emphasizing its form and detail, while creating a solemn atmosphere that reflects the tragic narrative of Marsyas’s punishment—being skinned alive by Apollo.
