A review by jess_esa
Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus
5.0
"You young gods, new in rule—you think you dwell in towers that never topple. Have I not seen tyrants twice already hurled from them?"
This play is so metal.
The way the Prometheus myth is developed in this is so interesting, as is seeing how this archetype has been played out in contemporary art and literature. There's always something so satisfying about going back to the root and being like, wow, this is where all that came from. You can see why this story has so inspired people.
It's sad that we'll never know the complete version of this trilogy, but I honestly love how powerful the bleak ending of this is.
