Conversation so far:
Are there any other interesting aspects about this article?
In the play, the Danaids, the fifty daughters of Danaus, founder of Argos, flee a forced marriage to their cousins in Egypt.
What happened when they fled?
They turn to King Pelasgus of Argos for protection.
Did he protect them?
Pelasgus refuses until the people of Argos weigh in on the decision, a distinctly democratic move on the part of the king.
Did they make it out alive in the story?
The people decide that the Danaids deserve protection, and they are allowed within the walls of Argos despite Egyptian protests.

Question: Are there more people in the story?
Self-contained rewrite: Are there more people in the story, the Danaids, besides the fifty daughters of Danaus and King Pelasgus?
