"Prometheus Geboeid" 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. As punishment, Prometheus is chained to a mountainside in Scythia, where he suffers under Zeus's tyrannical rule. Through visits from various characters, including Ocean nymphs and the god Oceanus, Prometheus reveals his defiance and hints
at a secret that may eventually give him power over Zeus himself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
