In page Marsyas:

"

The hubristic Marsyas in surviving literary sources eclipses the figure of the wise Marsyas that is suggested in a few words by the Hellenistic historian Diodorus Siculus,[1] who refers to Marsyas as admired for his intelligence (sunesis) and self-control (sophrosune), not qualities found by Greeks in ordinary satyrs. In Plato's Symposium,[2] when Alcibiades likens Socrates to Marsyas, it is this aspect of the wise satyr that is intended.[citation needed] Jocelyn Small identifies in Marsyas an artist great enough to challenge a deity, who can only be defeated through a ruse.[3] A prominent statue of Marsyas as a wise old silenus stood near the Roman Forum.[4]
