In one speech in this work, a character draws an analogy between this work's plot and the war between hawks and doves, asking, "If bird prey on bird, how can it be pure?" In this work, a herald orders a group of characters to board a ship, but they refuse, cursing him to perish in "the sandy tomb of Sarpedon." As an attempt to gain sympathy, one character in this work orders some wands to be placed on the altars of his city, later reminding its residents that if they fail to offer protection, Zeus will send a monster to plague it. One of the title characters of this work recounts her origins in the tale of Io and her son Epaphus, whose grandson Belus was the father of the title characters, who in this play seek refuge with the Argive king Pelasgus. This play opens with an invocation by the chorus to protect the title characters, who have fled from their home because they were about to be forced to marry the sons of Aegyptus. For ten points, identify this play which was followed by the lost plays The Egyptians and The Danaids, written by Aeschylus about the titular daughters of Danaus.
