Scene in Olympos. On the r. of (a) Zeus is seated to 1. on a diphros over
which a mantle decorated with crosses and circles is laid ; he is bearded and
wreathed, and has long hair with two locks (parotides) on the shoulder, a long
sleeved chiton thickly dotted, and a mantle, and holds up a fluted phiale in his r.,
and a sceptre upright in his 1. hand. Before him stands Hera (?) or Iris (?) in a
long sleeved chiton decorated with crosses, a mantle fastened on the 1. shoulder, a
radiated stephane and earrings, with her long hair passed through a folded cloth,
holding out in her r. an oinochoe as if to catch the wine which falls from the
fluted phiale of Apollo, who faces her, playing on the kithara ; he is wreathed
with laurel, and wears a dress like that of Hera ; his hair falls loose to his
shoulders. On the 1. Nike, dressed exactly as Hera, but with a plain purple
fillet, runs forward to r., holding up her 1. hand. On the r.,.behind Zeus, Hebe (?),
a girlish figure with similar headgear and dress, stands to 1. raising her r. hand.
On the r. of her (in b) Hermes moves away, looking back, and also raising his
r. hand ; he is bearded and wreathed, with long hair, and wears a short sleeved
chiton, a chlamys, a petasos hanging at his back, and talaria of the archaic form,
the recurved flaps covered with dots. The border of his chlamys is indicated by
a succession of dots run close together. Next on the r. is Hestia (?) with long
sleeved chiton, mantle fastened on the 1. shoulder, earrings, long hair with two
tresses in front of ears, and a fillet; she holds on each side of her a blazing torch,
and moves rapidly to 1., looking back at Dionysos, who moves to the r., looking
back at her, and pouring wine from a cantharos in his r. hand ; in his 1. he holds
upright a thyrsos ; he is bearded, wreathed with ivy, and has long hair like that
of Hestia, a long sleeved chiton, and a himation. The chiton of the figures in b
is without decoration.
