Book Description
Prometheus Bound has been one of the most influential of the classical Greek tragedies, inspiring poems by Goethe, Shelly, Byron and others. But it is often misunderstood, because it is read in isolation. Read by itself, Prometheus Bound seems to tell the story of Prometheus' heroic resistance to Zeus' tyranny. But when we read the entire trilogy, we can see that the relation between Zeus and Prometheus is far more complex. Prometheus Bound has always been considered one of the greatest Greek tragedies - and this book lets us see that the Prometheus trilogy as a whole is more powerful than this one play. This edition uses Henry David Thoreau's translation of Prometheus Bound, published in 1843 in The Dial magazine, the most making it available to a wide audience in book form for the first time. This edition also includes an introduction by the great classical scholar, Nikolaus Wecklein, which has long been out of print, and also includes commentary by Charles Siegel, which makes an important new contribution to scholars' attempts to reconstruct the Prometheus trilogy.This second edition is an expanded version of the first edition, published in 2015.

Book Description
Prometheus Bound was accepted without question in antiquity as the work of Aeschylus, and most modern authorities endorse this ascription. But since the nineteenth century several leading scholars have come to doubt Aeschylean authorship. Dr Griffith here provides a thorough and wide-ranging study of this problem, and concludes: 'Had Prometheus Bound been newly dug up from the sands of Oxyrhynchus... few scholars would regard it as the work of Aeschylus.' After a preliminary assessment of the external evidence, Dr Griffith examines minutely the idiosyncrasies of metre, dramatic technique, vocabulary, syntax and expression to be found in the play, applying the same tests to other plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides in order to provide a control for his methods. In his final chapter he discusses how the conditions surrounding the ancient transmission and cataloguing of texts may have led to the ascription to Aeschylus.

Book Description
Aeschylus (ca. 525-456 BCE), the dramatist who made Athenian tragedy one of the world's great art forms, witnessed the establishment of democracy at Athens and fought against the Persians at Marathon. He won the tragic prize at the City Dionysia thirteen times between ca. 499 and 458, and in his later years was probably victorious almost every time he put on a production, though Sophocles beat him at least once. Of his total of about eighty plays, seven survive complete. The third volume of this edition collects all the major fragments of lost Aeschylean plays.
