Challenges apollo to music contest and the loser had to do whatever the winner wanted. Apollo wanted marsyas skinned alive: healing (and plagues) Coronis was apollo"s wife but she wasn"t faithful(with thessaly) He shot her and felt bad but he couldn"t save her but did save their son. Asclepius became a really good healer and raised the dead.
