Behind Priam stands Hermes, the messenger god, identifiable by his winged boots. The male figure at the far left is probably an attendant of Priam. The second fragment shows Apollo, god of music, holding his kithara, a lyre used in performance. The seated female before him may be his sister Artemis.
