Prometheus Bound

The titian Prometheus, the daughters of Danaus, a conquered king, and rivaled brothers are the protagonists of this eclectic collection of tragedies. Prometheus Bound and Other Plays is a collection from the work of Aeschylus, and features four plays, The Suppliants, The Persians, Seven Against Thebes, and Prometheus Bound. With stories of forced marriages, a defeated empire, a cursed family, and a titian that pays dearly for his advocacy for humans, Prometheus Bound and Other Plays depicts tales of downfall. History may be told about victors, but these four tragedies hold the stories of the disenfranchised and the defeated.

About the author

Aeschylus (c.525-455 B.C) was an ancient Greek playwright and solider. Scholars' knowledge of the tragedy genre begins with Aeschylus' work, and because of this, he is dubbed the "father of tragedy". Aeschylus claimed his inspiration to become a writer stemmed from a dream he had in which the god Dionysus encouraged him to write a play. While it is estimated that he wrote just under one hundred plays, only seven of Aeschylus' work was able to be recovered.
