Prometheus Bound is a play written by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus. The play tells the story of Prometheus, a Titan who defies the gods by giving fire to humanity and is punished by Zeus for his disobedience. Prometheus is chained to a rock and tormented by the gods, but he refuses to repent or beg for mercy. Instead, he remains defiant and proud, declaring that he would rather suffer than submit to the will of the gods. The play explores themes of rebellion, justice, and the struggle between individual freedom and divine authority. It is considered a classic of Greek literature and has been widely studied and adapted throughout the centuries.PROMETHEUS Think not that I for pride and stubbornness Am silent: rather is my heart the prey Of gnawing thoughts, both for the past, and now Seeing myself by vengeance buffeted. For to these younger Gods their precedence Who severally determined if not I?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
