For readers accustomed to the relatively undramatic standard translations of Prometheus Bound, this version by James Scully, a poet and winner of the Lamont Poetry Prize, and C. John Herington, one of the world's foremost Aeschylean scholars, will come as a revelation. Scully and Herington accentuate the play's true power, drama, and relevance to modern times. Aeschylus originally wrote Prometheus Bound as part of a tragic trilogy, and this translation is unique in including the extant fragments of the companion plays.

Über den Autor Aeschylus

During his life, he wrote an estimated 70-90 plays, however, he is most famous for the Oresteia trilogy. His plays are noted for their high poetic quality and their exploration of divine justice and morality, as well as social and political issues.
