Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus
3.0

Beautiful, a classic. Elegant, mythical and laudable tragedy, unmatched by later works. Prometheus, a divinity, epitomizes the faulted, emotional human. "Prometheus Bound" is the majestic narration of a god's repudiation of power, rejection of authority and consequent monumental punishment, all caused by the love for the helpless, weak humans. To read this play is to enter a faraway, ancient and legendary dimension, where aesthetic beauty holds sway.
