[&.] has been supposed to represent Hera or Juno seated, and holding 
a cup before the sacred cow of Io and Epaphus, Aphrodite, and the 
three Charites or Graces; others consider that the two seated 
figures represent Demeter (Ceres), and Kora (Proserpine), and 
the group between them the Three Horse or Seasons, or the 
Erinnyes or Furies. Three different explanations have been pro¬ 
posed for the scene on the east side, [a.] 1. Tantalus bringing to 
Pandarus in Lycia the golden dog stolen from Crete. 2. Asclepios 
(Aesculapius), the seated figure, in front Telesphorus, or Ganymedes 
and Artemis, behind him Charis and Pitho, two of the Graces. 3. 
Neptune seated, before him a boy offering a cock, and a man leaning 
on a staff; behind, Amphitrite and Amymone. On the north side 
[c.], at the corners, are two Harpies flying away with two of the 
daughters of Pandarus, having been sent for that purpose by Zeus, to 
avenge the theft and perjury of their father; a third daughter, Aedon, 
who was saved from destruction, is represented fallen on her knees 
and deploring the fate of her sisters. On this side also is a seated di¬ 
vinity, conjectured to be Zeus, or Pluto, under whose chair is an ani¬ 
mal, either a bear or boar; before him stands an armed man ; they hold 
a helmet between them. On the south side [<Z. ], at the corners, are 
two Harpies bearing off two of the daughters of Pandarus. In the 
centre is a seated divinity, supposed to be Zeus, and a female offer¬ 
ing a dove, perhaps Aphrodite.
