That's of course the Judgment of Paris, and the Etruscan amphora is in the Antikensammlung, Munich. From right to left: a well-dressed Aphrodite, an Athena with a spear, a veiled Hera, Hermes, and ... who's the old guy to the left? He has a herald's staff, but it's a bit odd to see a herald announcing Hermes, who is himself a herald. What aspect of the story have I missed?

(And I think that Hermes says to the women "Won't you now please stop quarreling?!")
