Next on the right is a prostrate pirate, on whose buttock a bearded Satyr is kneeling with his left knee, while he holds the pirate's hands, as if to tie them behind his back. The pirate kneels on the rock, with his head pressed upon the ground and turned towards the spectator. The next group on the right is composed of a Satyr, who has thrown a pirate backward on the rock, and is about to strike him with a pedum or club. The pirate has his left knee bent under him, and leans back on his right elbow: he advances his right foot and left arm to defend himself. He is drawn by Lusieri with a negro face and pointed ear. The ear seems pointed, but it is manifest that the features are wrongly drawn. The head is now wanting on the original. The Satyr has his body facing to the front and inclined to the left with the right leg advanced: his right hand is raised to the level of his head. The action shows that he is about to swing his body round to give effect to the blow which he is aiming at the pirate. On his left arm is the panther's skin, worn as a shield. _Mus. Marbles_, IX., pl. 25. [Sidenote: 9.] In the next group are a Satyr and a transformed pirate, separated by a tree which marks the edge of the rocky shore, as at the opposite side of the frieze. The Satyr stoops forward, breaking off with both hands a branch of the tree, which he is about to use as a weapon. He is bearded. The right leg is now wanting on the original. The pirate darts head foremost into the water, pressing his feet against the trunk of the tree. _Mus. Marbles_, IX., pl. 26. [Sidenote: 10.] On the right of the transformed pirate is a group representing a Satyr about to strike with a branch of a tree a pirate seated on the ground, whose head he draws back with his left hand, brandishing in his right hand the branch held behind his neck; from the left arm of the Satyr hangs his panther's skin. He is bearded. In the drawing of Lusieri he has an ivy wreath and pointed ears. On the original this group is mutilated almost beyond recognition. The last group on the right is composed of a Satyr darting forward with a lighted torch, which he is about to apply to a pirate seated on a rock with his hands tied behind his back. A large serpent behind the pirate has fastened its fangs on his right shoulder, and has one coil between his right arm and his back. The pirate looks round in agony towards his assailants. The serpent suggests the form of the legend usually current, in which Dionysos is assisted by strange monsters. According to Nonnus, _Dionys._, xlv., 1. 134, the ropes of the rigging of the ship turned to serpents. [Sidenote: =431.=] Cast from the capital of a column of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates.
