As Pegasus stamps the earth, so bursts a spring; as Hippocrene flows on Mt Helicon, so flows inspiration from the source of the muses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe myth of the 50 Danaïdes, condemned for all eternity to toil, to endlessly carry water to fill a leaking vessel. Sisyphus fated to bear his heavy stone uphill, only to lose his burden near the hilltop, and to begin again. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our struggle for equal rights, for our democracy.
