FIGS. 25-27; DELT. 18 (1963) CHRON. 27FF., PLS. 24-25, ARV[2] 1690. - BROODING
HELEN: CF. BERLIN 30,036 AND ATHENS 14,792. - THE INSCRIPTIONS IDENTIFY THE
SCENE AS HELEN IN THE FAMILY OF THE SPARTAN KING TYNDAREUS: HERMIONE WAS THE
DAUGHTER OF HELEN AND MENELAUS; KLYTAIMESTRA AND PHYLONOE ARE HER SISTERS;
PHOIBA AND HILAEIRA AS LEUCIPPIDAE AND WIVES OF DIOSCOURI ARE HER
SISTERS-IN-LAW. [SO SCHöNE WHO SAYS THAT BURN WRONGLY IDENTIFIES HILAEIRA AS A
SISTER OF HELEN. BUT PHOIBA IS ALSO A SISTER OF KLYTAIMESTRA AND HENCE OF HELEN:
SEE PAPE, S.V. {6} . I WONDER IF ALL THE WOMEN ARE NOT HERE TO BE THOUGHT OF AS
SISTERS OF HELEN.] SCHöNE INTERPRETS THE GENERAL MEANING OF BOTH SCENES AS THE
CURSE OF THE GODS AGAINST RESISTING MORTALS; THE UPPER ZONE, AS POINTING TO THE
FATES OF ALL THE WOMEN (NOTE EROS WITH HELEN). MIXED ALPHABET WITH IONIC LAMBDA
AND SIGMA. NOTE SYLLABIC HETA.
