Description

In this new edition of Aeschylus' play Prometheus, the Greek text is accompanied by an introduction, a very readable English translation and explanatory notes. In the Introduction, Podlecki discusses the background and cultural significance of the Prometheus myth, together with illustrative material from ancient Greek art. An attempt is made to assess the influence of the story upon later European literature and thought, with a side-glance at equivalent myths in other, non-European cultures.
