Cacus and Marsyas in Etrusco-Roman Legend. (Pmaa-44), Volume 44 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691614694)

This book discusses how Greek and South Italian vase paintings of the musical contest between Apollo and Marsyas became the model for Etruscan representations of Cacus ambushed by the Vibennae brothers, two Etruscan heroes of the sixth century B.C. The study demonstrates that the Etruscans knowingly adapted Greek iconographic forms to represent their own legends.
