Very rare and interesting mythological representation. Dark, olive patina. Athena was believed to have invented the aulos (double pipe). Hera and Aphrodite laughed when Athena played her pipes because her puffed cheeks distorted her face. Suspicious Athena decided to see for herself by observing her reflection in a river as she played. Upon seeing the unflattering result, she discarded the pipes, which were then picked up by Marsyas; Marsyas later challenged Apollo to a contest, matching his pipes with Apollo's lyre. Apollo won and flayed Marsyas as his punishment. Salamis (BC 373-361) AV 1/12 Stater - Nikokles826 viewsNikokles, King of Salamis, 373-361 BC. AV 1/12th Stater (0.68g).
