Danais (
Ancient Greek: Δαναΐς) refers to a lost
ancient Greek
epic written by one of the
cyclic poets.
[1] The Danaid tetralogy of
Aeschylus undoubtedly draws its material from this particular literary work. Danais is represented in the table of epics in the received canon on the very fragmentary "Borgia table"
[2] as "Danaides".
