portrayed

Marsyas

hanging on

the fatal

tree.

While he

thus hung

by the

arms, he

was slain

by a spear

thrust

through

his body

at the

level of

the

armpits.

Afterwards

the body

was cut

clean

through

the middle

at the

waist, and

the upper

part was

apparently

allowed to

dangle for

a little

from the

tree,

while the

under part

wallowed

in blood

on the

ground.

The two

portions

were

finally

cast into

a shallow

trench

beside the

tree.
