Description

Originally published in 1899 as part of the Pitt Press Series, this book contains the Greek text of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound. The tragedy is prefaced with a history of Prometheus in Greek myth and an attempted reconstruction of the other two plays in the Prometheus trilogy, of which Prometheus Bound is the only extant piece, with detailed notes following at the end of the text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in early Athenian drama.
