THE DAUGHTERS OF ATLAS by AESCHYLUS

First Line: AND ATLAS' SEVEN DAUGHTERS, NAMED FROM HIM
Last Line: THEIR SHAPES ARE VISITATIONS OF THE NIGHT.
Subject(s): DAUGHTERS;
And Atlas' seven daughters, named from him,
Wept for their father's mighty punishment
Of holding up the sky, where, doves unwinged,
Their shapes are visitations of the night.
