QR code
"Προμηθεύς Δεσμώτης" by Aeschylus is an ancient Greek tragedy composed sometime between 479 BC and 424 BC. The play dramatizes the punishment of the Titan Prometheus, who defied Zeus by stealing fire and giving it to humanity. Chained to a remote mountainside in Scythia, Prometheus receives visitors who witness his suffering and hear his defiant story. He hints at possessing a dangerous secret that could challenge Zeus's power, while the new king's
tyranny looms over all. The work may have been part of a larger trilogy exploring Prometheus's fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
