A later form of the legend identifies Daphnis with a Phrygian hero, and makes him the teacher of Marsyas.
To oppose him, as Marsyas says, Philip also sent thither his envoys.
It seems to me that you are the young Apollo, and that I am Marsyas listening to you.
And so shall the children of Apollo suffer and share the pain of Marsyas.
In the distance the skin of Marsyas will hang upon a tree, as a warning to the presumption of rivals.
