In the first, reference is made to the passage in the 19th book of the Odyssey, where Penelope inquires of the supposed mendicant — who is Ulysses himself — for CLASSIC SCENES. 89 tidings of the lost Ulysses. She is clothed in a violet- coloured tunic and white veil, with materials for spinning in her hand. Ulysses, who is seated, wears a white tunic, and a yellow chlamys. Eurynome, the attendant, is seen in the background.
