Pieria (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Pieria /ˌpaɪˈɪəriə/ (Greek: Πιερία) was the wife of Danaus.[1] According to the Library of Apollodorus, Danaus and Pieria had fifty daughters, the Danaides who married the fifty sons of Aegyptus. Danaus, however, instructed his daughters to kill their husbands on the first wedding night. All of them obeyed, but Hypermnestra refused. The legendary punishment of the forty nine Danaides was to try to fill up a hollow tank in Tartarus.

Notes
- Apollodorus, Bibliothece, 2.1.5.
gollark: Good idea.
gollark: This "smart contract" thing would also be fairly krist-like and centralized, but able to sort of do the same thing.
gollark: Krist is NOT really a cryptocurrency in many important ways.
gollark: No, that is waaaaay harder.
gollark: I guess the KV database thing could be billed for slightly too, and would be publicly readable like the "contract" source.
