Prometheus Bound (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)

For readers accustomed to the relatively undramatic standard translations of <em>Prometheus Bound</em>, 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 <em>Prometheus Bound</em> as part of a tragic trilogy, and this translation is unique in including the extant fragments of the companion plays.<br>
