|wketx=In Greek mythology, the [[Danaïdes]] (/dəˈneɪ.ɪdiːz/; Greek: [[Δαναΐδες]]), also Danaides or [[Danaids]], were the fifty daughters of [[Danaus]]. In the Metamorphoses, Ovid refers to them as the [[Belides]] after their grandfather [[Belus]]. They were to marry the 50 sons of [[Danaus]]' twin brother Aegyptus, a mythical king of Egypt. In the most common version of the myth, all but one of them killed their husbands on their wedding night, and are condemned to spend eternity carrying water in a sieve or perforated device. In the classical tradition, they came to represent the futility of a repetitive task that can never be completed (see also [[Sisyphus]]).
