Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history of intellectual engagement with the classical myth of Prometheus. It closely examines ancient sources to determine where and how Aeschylus situated Prometheus in his 'Prometheus Bound', and discusses the ways in which the play interacts with existing traditions. Drawing on the author's deep knowledge of archaic and classical Greek literature and mythology, the book also explores the play's broader thematic backdrop, examining how it engages with the idea of suffering, rebellion, and the limits of human knowledge and power. Unraveling the nuances and contradictions of the Promethean myth, the book sheds new light on a cornerstone of Western literature.
