In ancient Greek myth the Danaïdes are the fifty daughters of Danaus, king of Libya, who—at their father's command—all but one killed their husbands on their wedding night and were punished in the underworld with the eternal, futile labor of carrying water in sieves or perforated vessels.

The story explains the sacred status of the laurel and its ritual use as Apollo's emblem and as the victor's wreath at the Pythian Games.
Daphnis is a legendary pastoral youth in Greek literary tradition, presented as a Sicilian cowherd and an etiological figure for pastoral song. Various ancient authors portray him as beloved or taught by gods and nymphs; his love-affairs, suffering (blinding, petrifaction, or death), and posthumous cultic commemoration at a spring make him a liminal bridge between humans, nature-spirits, and the divine.
