介绍（中）	穆勒在科内利斯之后创作了六幅版画；还有，大都会博物馆有四个印象。除了目前的作品外，他们还包括《Cain Killing Abel》（56.597.4）、《Ulysses and Irus之间的战斗》（56.59.6）和《三个命运》（the Three Fates Clotho，Lachesis and Atropos）（56.597.7）。这部作品描绘了希腊诗人和歌手Arion的生活场景，Arion于公元前六世纪居住在科林斯，被认为是他那个时代最好的七弦琴演奏家。从意大利和西西里岛逗留回来后，Arion被水手抓住，他们抢走了他在各种音乐比赛中赚的钱。他们允许他唱最后一首歌，然后跳入海中。然而，他优美的音乐吸引了一群海豚来救他。它们很可能是阿波罗派来的，阿波罗是音乐和诗歌之神。在这部作品中，Arion跨坐在一只海豚身上，弹奏着他的七弦琴，尽管乌云密布，海水汹涌，正在返回科林斯的家的路上版画由Hendrik Laurensz委托制作。阿姆斯特丹诗人Spieghel在图片下方题写了他的座右铭"Deugd Verhuegt"（美德带来快乐）。
介绍（英）	Muller made six engravings after Cornelis; and, impressions of four are in the Met. In addition to the present work they include Cain Killing Abel (56.597.4), The Fight Between Ulysses and Irus (56.597.6) and The Three Fates Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos (56.597.7). This work illustrates a scene from the life of Arion, aGreek poet and singer, who lived in Corinth in the sixth century BC and was considered the best lyre player of his time. Returning from a sojourn in Italy and Sicily, Arion was seized by sailors who robbed him of the fortune he had made in various musical contests. They allowed him to sing one last song before hurling himself into the sea. His beautiful music, however, attracted a school of dolphins who rescued him. They were likely sent by Apollo, the god of music and poetry. In the present work, Arion is sitting astride a dolphin strumming his lyre, despite the menacing clouds and turbulent sea, on his way back to home to Corinth. The engraving was commissioned by Hendrik Laurensz. Spieghel, the Amsterdam poet, and includes his motto ‘Deugd Verhuegt’ (Virtue gives delight) inscribed below the image.
