Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and the Seven Against Thebes

Note 58 — PROMETHEUS CHAINED.

Theodore Alois Buckley translation

Wrapped in mystery as the liberation of Prometheus is in this drama, it may be amusing to compare the following extracts from the Short Chronicle prefixed to Sir I. Newton's Chronology.

"968. B.C. Sesak, having carried on his victories to Mount Caucasus, leaves his nephew Prometheus there, to guard the pass, etc.

"937. The Argonautic expedition. Prometheus leaves Mount Caucasus, being set at liberty by Hercules," etc.—Old Translator.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
