 This was beautifully written, a true Greek tragedy showing just how cruel the gods are. All Prometheus did was help humankind and in turn he was punished again and again. Io's story being told as well further shows how terrible Zeus in particular is, and how kind Prometheus tries to be. Honestly he deserved better.
