Rendition In Favor Of Books Prometheus Bound

For readers accustomed to the relatively undramatic standard translations of Prometheus Bound, this version by James Scully, a poet and winner of the Lamont Poetry Prize, and C. John Herington, one of the world's foremost Aeschylean scholars, will come as a revelation. Scully and Herington accentuate the play's true power, drama, and relevance to modern times. Aeschylus originally wrote Prometheus Bound as part of a tragic trilogy, and this translation is unique in including the extant fragments of the companion plays.

Interesting little read which you can finish off in a sitting. Its about a titan called Prometheus who stole he concept of fire from the Gods and gave it to humans as a gift. Zeus got pissed off with him for stealing something from him and giving it to the people of a day (love that description of humans) so he gets him ballasted up a mountain somewhere for eternity and gets one of his evillest red eyed eagles to pick away at his kidney for eternity charming.

"Don't rage and storm. You are intelligent: full wellYou know that punishment falls on unruly tongue." Prometheus knows that indeed, and suffers unspeakable injustice and pain for his unruly tongue and rebellious action. But that doesn't stop him from speaking up against the tyranny of Zeus, who is particularly harsh and unfair as he is new to power - not established enough yet to be able able to cope with free thinking, independence and criticism.Prometheus is punished for feeling for humankind

Some books you read because you want to become absorbed in a great story. Or you want to look deeper at the meaning of life, considering your place in humanity. Then some books you pick up because they're short and fill a gap, or tick off a list of books to read. I'll leave you to consider which is the more rewarding way of doing things.



Poor Prometheus, banished and punished for his compassion to us mortals, giving us the gift of fire that Jove wanted to keep for the gods alone. Quite shortsighted of these gods, no?

Prometheus is not just a jesus-like figure who sacrifices himself for humans and suffers because of them. The difference between Jesus and Prometheus is that Jesus is obeying God but Prometheus is defying God and that's what makes him more lovable than Jesus. he stands against the tyranny of a God.In this play, Prometheus keeps saying that one day someone will

Prometheus one of the ultimate martyrs in history, fiction or real. Prometheus flaunts authority (Zeus) to steal fire to give to mankind to help lift them from their current life of poverty. The myth says it is the defining act that begins a flourishing of civilization. Prometheus suffers cruel & unusual punishment for his crime against the gods, or specifically his defiance of Zeus.
