A stand-alone edition of Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound taken from Chicago's renowned translations of the Greek tragedies.

In the wake of the Olympian gods' clash with the Titans, Zeus punishes his former ally and fellow deity, Prometheus, for having dared to bring knowledge to humankind. In this sole surviving play of Aeschylus's Prometheus trilogy, we find Prometheus chained in a desolate landscape, suffering great cruelty at the hands of his fellow gods.

Drawn from the authoritative third edition of the University of Chicago Press's Complete Greek Tragedies series, David Grene's searing translation of Prometheus Bound is presented here in a stand-alone edition. An introduction by Glenn W. Most and Mark Griffith provides essential information about the play's first production, plot, and reception in antiquity.
