Danaid by Rodin
The Danaid represents the suffering of one of the daughters of Danaus, King of Argos. In the Greek myth, Danaid was condemned to live in Hades for eternity, perpetually filling a vessel full of holes as punishment for the murder of her husband. In this sculputure Rodin captures the moment where she has thrown herself down, beside the stream, in despairing abandon at the futility of her life.
