The Danaides (1904), a Pre-Raphaelite interpretation by John William Waterhouse. In Greek mythology, the Danaïdes (/ d ə ˈ n eɪ. ɪ d iː z /; Greek: Δαναΐδες), also Danaides or Danaids, were the fifty daughters of Danaus, king of Libya. In the Metamorphoses, [1] Ovid refers to them as the Belides after their grandfather Belus.
The columns of the Portico of the Danaids were made from yellow giallo antico marble quarried in Numidia. This is the earliest known use of giallo antico in Rome. [87] The temple's architecture may have been designed to compete with that of the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, [15] which was reconstructed at approximately the same time. [88]
The Danaids tell King Pelasgus that if he refuses their plea, they will commit suicide by hanging themselves on the statues of the gods at the sanctuary. Pelasgus wants to help them, but he doesn't want to start a war with Egypt. He gives the decision to the Argive people, who unanimously decide in the favour of the Danaids.
