Aeschylus

Aeschylus, Volume 1. Smyth, Herbert Weir, translator. London; New York: William Heinemann; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1922.

  1. Hear the sum of the whole matter in the compass of one brief word—every art possessed by man comes from Prometheus.

  1. Do not benefit mortals beyond reason and disregard your own distress; although, I am confident that you will be freed
  2. from these bonds and will have power in no way inferior to Zeus.
