"The word Procrustean is thus used by analogy to describe, for example, situations where an arbitrary standard is used to measure success, while completely disregarding obvious harm that results from the effort."  

"Procrustes had a stronghold on Mount Korydallos at Erineus, on the sacred way between Athens and Eleusis. 

There he had a bed, in which he invited every passer-by to spend the night, and where he set to work on them with his smith's hammer, to stretch them to fit..

 In later tellings, if the guest proved too tall, Procrustes would amputate the excess length; if the guest was too short Procrustes would stretch them until they died; 

 nobody ever fit the bed exactly 

 Procrustes continued his reign of terror until he was captured by Theseus, travelling to Athens along the sacred way, who "fitted" Procrustes to his own bed" 

"Procrustes was a son of Poseidon"

"literary analysis. Slavoj Žižek draws upon the metaphor to critique poetic form: 

 "The most elementary form of torturing one's language is called poetry—think of what a complex form like a sonnet does to language: it forces the free flow of speech into a Procrustean bed of fixed forms of rhythm and rhyme."
