What a wonderful picture, Jona. I have nothing to add to your erudite discussion, except to note that the "Hermes" figure does look rather feminine, and appears to be taking his/her cue from Hera, which would square nicely with David's identification of him/her as Iris.

Is the lefthand figure (the true Hermes, by David's reckoning) plucking the golden apple from the tree? (It's difficult to see from this angle.)
