In Greek Myth the Danaids were the daughters of King Danaus, who commanded them to kill their husbands on their wedding night. Their punishment in Hades was to carry water in jugs that leaked, so they could never wash away their crime.
The Danaids, Enrapt; an alliterative poem by Stephanie A. McCarter
You do not ever deign to speak our names, we Danaïds who did as daddy said, we duteous daughters everybody blames ...

"I pour myself into the Danaids’ pithos,
watching labor and salt-water bleed through the clay—
a slow hemorrhaging of service,
a vessel that refuses to hold."

Excerpt from a poem entitled Tartarus. Thinking about how we push ourselves to serve others and forget how to look after ourselves.

I didn't know this myth of the Danaids, fascinating story. The face on the jar below looks a bit like the current occupant of the White House 🤔 Well, he too is a bottomless vessel... 😂
