The Satyr Masyas challenged Apollo to a musical contest in which the life of the vanquished was dependent on the will of the winner. Apollo flayed him alive and put his skin on a tree. The strife symbolizes the struggle between Apollonian and Dionysian aspects.
O Sátiro Masyas desafiou Apolo para um concurso musical no qual a vida do vencido ficava dependente da vontade do vencedor. Apolo esfolou-o vivo e colocou a sua pele numa árvore. A contenda simboliza a luta entre os aspetos apolíneos e dionisíacos.
