The Seven Sisters, daughters of Titan Atlas, are Maia, Electra, Alcyone, Taygete, Asterope, Celaeno, and Merope from Greek Mythology.
The Seven Sisters were running away from being raped by Orion the Hunter. Zeus transformed them into stars and put them in the sky. Ironically Zeus put Orion the Hunter in the sky in a pursuing position when he died. The eternal escape of the seven sisters will go on forever.
