Prometheus Bound and Other Plays by Aeschylus

Prometheus is so savage lmao 
So many good quotes in such a short play but my favorite has to be "you waste your breath, you may as well exhort the waves."
I did not no prior to reading it that it had subsequent parts and knowing that they're lost is kinda sad I actually really enjoyed it :(
PS: I haven't read the other plays in the book

the play about Prometheus was the only one that was slightly interesting. The rest was extremely tough to read.

Prometheus Bound 2/4/23

Greek mythology is actually so badass. For a story that is set on a single stage and is only told through Gods talking it is pretty riveting. Reallllly sucks Part 2 and Part 3 are lost.

The Suppliants


Seven Against Thebes


The Persians
