Danaïdes

thumb|331x331px|The Danaides (1904), a Pre-Raphaelite interpretation by [[John William Waterhouse]] In Greek mythology, the Danaïdes (; ), also Danaides or Danaids, were the fifty daughters of Danaus, king of Libya. In the most common version of the myth, the daughters were forced to marry the sons of Danaus' brother Aegyptus. In retaliation, Danaus commanded them to kill their husbands on their wedding night, and all but one, Hypermnestra, obeyed. The Danaids were then condemned to spend eternity carrying water in a sieve or perforated jug.

In Greek mythology, Hypermnestra () was by birth a Libyan princess and by marriage a queen of Argos. She is a daughter of King Danaus, and one of the 50 Danaids. Hypermnestra is most notable for being the only Danaid that betrayed her father and refused to kill her husband Lynceus, the future king of Argos.

The Cupid above represents the erotic motive of the scene (Roman-era mosaic, [[House of Dionysos at Paphos)]] In Greek mythology, Amymone (; , "blameless; innocent") was one of the 50 Danaids as a daughter of Danaus, king of Libya. As the "blameless" Danaid, her name identifies her as, perhaps, identical to Hypermnestra ("great wooing" or "high marriage"): the one Danaid who did not assassinate her husband on their wedding night.
