She moves rapidly after him, her powerful wings extended behind, wearing a long chiton, a mantle covering her body and left arm, a necklace, and a stephane with long rays her hair is knotted behind. Below her gallops up the mountain-side a large hound, who seems to be baying the moon this is the hound of Kephalos, a wreathed youth equipped as a hunter (chlamys, petasos at back, two spears in left hand), who, as he moves to left, turns to menace with a stone Eos, as she extends her right to seize him. (a) Over the mountain-top on the left the setting moon is shown as Selene, a matronly figure in long chiton, necklace, and mantle passed over her head, riding side-saddle a horse, whose legs are already out of sight, to the left. The sun drives his chariot, pulled by four winged horses, up out of the ocean, while the stars are shown as boys, diving and disappearing into the water. The scene is set at dawn, as the sun rises from the sea and the stars sink into it.
