  Marsyas, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
In her wanderings, she met Marsyas, who feeling pity for her grief, followed her voluntarily in her journey until they came to the abode of Dionysus 2 in the town of Nysa, which, like the country and the mountain of the same name, is of uncertain location.
Marsyas protested, arguing that the skill with the instrument was to be compared, and not the voice.
For when the musician died, the river Marsyas carried the flute to the river Meander, and after reappearing in the Asopus in Boeotia, it was cast ashore in the country around Sicyon, where a shepherd found it and gave it to Apollo.
