identify painting

This is an original painting my parents owned back in the 1960's when they lived in the state of Nebraska, USA. The photo is fuzzy, but I am hoping someone might have some clues to offer as to the artist. Thanks

I keep coming back to this one. I gather that your parents no longer own this and that this is the only picture you have? It is really hard to tell what is going on here. A court party scene or an invasion? Looks like someone scaling the wall.

Thank you for your interest. Yes, this painting is no longer in our family. I will try to find a better photo. (This may be the best one.) I must say, identifying this painting has been long on my mind. My mother has sometimes referred to this painting as depicting the "trial of Zeus". I have not been able to find references to any such paintings.
