Anotace knihy

PROMETHEUS BOUND recounts the tale of the titan Prometheus, who dared to defy Zeus, the king of the gods, by bestowing the gift of fire upon humanity.

"THE PROMETHEUS BOUND has impressed all generations with wonder and delight. Here, stark hauteur has developed into a desolate magnificence. Above all, the maturity of Aeschylus' poetic strength is to be seen in the terrific perspectives which he brings before us ⁠-⁠ perspectives of time, as the voice of the tortured prophet carries us down a vista of centuries; perspectives of scenery; perspectives of thought, as the exultant history of civilization leaps from the lips of him who dies hourly throughout untold years. No less wonderful is the strictly dramatic economy of the play." ⁠-⁠Gilbert Norwood, 1920

"PROMETHEUS BOUND is probably the most lyrical of the Greek classical tragedies." ⁠-⁠Robert Lowell, 1967

"Those interpretations of THE PROMETHEUS BOUND that have been put forward not merely since World War I but since the Byzantine period constitute not so much the gratifying history of a steady advance in scholarly understanding as an entire sociological, intellectual and religious history of our civilization." ⁠-⁠C J Herington, 1982

"Who cannot relate to the pains of existential abandonment, of anger at arbitrary authority, of pity for suffering caused by sacrifice?" ⁠-⁠Myron Meisel, 2013
