Some of them were conducted by danaus, and Cadmus, who were the most illustrious of the whole.
"A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume II. (of VI.)"
Jacob Bryant
In vain for us from murderous Mars to flee, In vain to shun the storms of Hadria's sea, In vain to fear the poison-laden breath Of Autumn's sultry south-wind, fraught with death; Adown the wandering stream we all must go, Adown Cocytus' waters, black and slow; The ill-famed race of danaus all must see, And Sisyphus, from labors never free.
"Horace and His Influence"
Grant Showerman
Think that this elect creature becomes the scapegoat of sins committed, and like a lamentable daughter of danaus she will unceasingly pour the offering of her mortifications and prayers, of her vigils and fastings, into the bottomless vessel of offences and crimes.
