Wait. Is Linus being killed? From the quote it would indicate Linus was merely the owner of the Lyre that killed the Son of Apollo and Terpsichore.Cynth wrote:There seem to be a number of Linus's in mythology and the stories are confusing. Here is a musical Linus:
"Son of Apollo and Terpsichore, he taught music to Orpheus and Herakles. Herakles killed him with Linus's own lyre after he reprimanded Herakles for making errors. According to other sources, he was the son of the muse Kalliope and the inventor of melody and rhythm."
This photo of a vase of some kind isn't very good. Since Herakles was a boy when he killed Linus, I would have thought that Linus was the bearded man. But the bearded man seems to be wielding the lyre which I thought Herakles should be wielding.
Well, the story doesn't have a good ending for Linus, but there is no Herakles now so perhaps your Linus will go on to become a great musician!
Whta play is this. I love Greek plays!!!!
