An ancient Greek tragedy attributed to Aeschylus. The play follows the sufferings of the Titan Prometheus who has been fastened to a rock by Zeus as punishment for giving the knowledge of fire to mankind. Edited by Mark Griffith, this book examines Hesiod's morality tale of Prometheus and the Aeschylus play, offering an introduction and commentary in English, with the text original in Greek.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
