IX.1.20 Pompeii. December 2007. Room 9, triclinium or dining room on east side of tablinum. This room contained a series of paintings illustrating the musical contest between Apollo and Marsyas. They are now hardly visible. Mau states that on the two panels in the north-east corner and two panels in the south-east corner were the Muses, who were acting as judges in the contest of skill between Apollo and Marsyas. See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. (p.312). Schefold has sketches of Thalia, Urania, Euterpe, Terpsichore and Melpomene. See Schefold, K., 1962. Vergessenes Pompeji. Bern: Francke. (T.173,2-4, 174).
