The Danaïdes were the fifty daughters of Danaos. They were promised to the fifty sons of Aegyptus, but Danoas did not favour the marriages. He presented each daughter with a dagger, with an order to kill her bridegroom on the wedding night; all but one obeyed. The forty-nine daughters who acceded were condemned to spend eternity in the underworld, filling a basin by sieve. Their punishment transcribes as perpetual failure to hold -- their invalidity in performing their task as women, as vessel.
