Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Prometheus Bound
P to Peitho Pelasgians to Phaedrias Phaeo to Pitys Plataea to Polyphemos 2 Polyxena to Pyxis 2
One of the seven surviving tragedies by the Athenian playwright Aeskhylus (Aeschylus).
Prometheus Bound is a wonderful play dealing with the punishment of Prometheus by Zeus; while Prometheus was bound to a mountain the heifer maiden, Io, questioned him as to his crime and his fate; Prometheus in turn gives Io hope for release from her own curse.
If you wish to read this play I suggest The Complete Greek Tragedies, Aeschylus II, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, ISBN 0226307948; you can find this book at your library in the 800 section or you can order it through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
