Publisher's Synopsis
The Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus: And the Fragments of the Prometheus Unbound is a book written by N. Wecklein and first published in 1891. The book is a collection of two works by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, the famous tragedy Prometheus Bound and the fragments of the lesser-known Prometheus Unbound. Prometheus Bound is a play about the Titan Prometheus who defies the gods by giving fire to humanity and is subsequently punished by Zeus. The play explores themes of rebellion, punishment, and the relationship between gods and mortals. The Prometheus Unbound fragments are believed to be part of a lost play by Aeschylus that continues the story of Prometheus after his punishment in Prometheus Bound. The fragments offer a glimpse into the continuation of the story, including the arrival of the hero Heracles and the eventual release of Prometheus. N. Wecklein's edition of the works includes a detailed introduction that provides historical and literary context for the plays, as well as notes and annotations to aid in understanding the text. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient Greek literature and anyone interested in the works of Aeschylus.With Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
