Geographic: Lemnos
Description: Hypsipyle became the Queen of Lemnos when she saved her father from murder and had him sent to Chios on a ship. Her father wears a red cloak and boards the ship to the right of the image. Hypsipyle is in the center of the image wearing a crown and a pink gown, standing with two children that were born to Jason. The children were required to be sent away, so she had them sent to her father in Chios, revealing that he was still alive after all. This caused her subjects to turn against her and send her away. Her subjects are seen to the far left of the image, sending Hypsipyle away.
