"Danaides" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1903. The artwork is a representation of the mythological story of the fifty daughters of Danaus, known as the Danaides, from ancient Greek mythology. According to the legend, the Danaides were condemned to an eternity of filling a leaky vessel with water as punishment for their collective crime of murdering their husbands on their wedding night, under the orders of their father.

Waterhouse's depiction of the Danaides is a testament to his fascination with classical mythology and his ability to infuse these ancient tales with a sense of romanticism and tragedy. The painting is characterized by its dramatic portrayal of the female figures, who are shown in a state of perpetual toil, capturing the futility of their punishment. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow adds to the emotional intensity of the scene, while his attention to detail and the fluidity of the figures' movements reflect the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's aesthetic principles.

As a work of art, "Danaides" exemplifies Waterhouse's skill in blending classical subjects with the stylistic elements of the late 19th-century British art scene. The painting is often noted for its evocative representation of the myth and its exploration of themes such as guilt, retribution, and the human condition. "Danaides" remains a significant piece within Waterhouse's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and narrative depth.
