contents We describe a connected component of the space of conjugacy classes of representations of the modular group $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ into the isometry group of the symmetric space $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SO}(3)$. This connected component contains the family of representations constructed by Schwartz via Pappus' theorem, as well as their Anosov deformations studied by Barbot, Lee, and Valério. We show that certain representations in this component (far from the Schwartz representations) are Anosov. The main results of this paper were previously proved by Schwartz in arXiv:2412.18457, though with different arguments. I was unaware of arXiv:2412.18457 when I posted the first version of this paper.
