scene: Langlotz connected it with the sanctuary of Aphrodite εν Κηποις and its
statue of Alcamenes, which, as Delivorrias has shown, could have preceded the
vase (ca. 440). He identified the girls as the arrhephoroi who were in the
service of of Athena and Aphrodite and played ball in their sphairistra (cf.
Burkert, Hermes 94 (1966) 3 and n. 2).
