Book Description
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.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... Strike with thy hammer, rivet to the rocks. He. Apace, and not in vain, the work proceeds. St. Smite harder, clinch them fast, leave nothing slack: A chink will serve him, though all doors be barred. 60 He. One arm at least inextricably is fixed. St. Clasp now the other safely: let him learn His wisdom is but dullness, matched with Zeus. He. Except of him, I shall not merit blame. St. Now, stubborn-fanged, an adamantine wedge Drive through his breast and rivet with thy might. He. Ah, I am grieved, Prometheus, for thy pain. St. Lingering again, and for the foes of Zeus Grieved?

St. Here, if thou canst, insult; and short-lived men Grace with the stolen honours of the gods. Can mortals ease thee of thy load of pain?
