Prometheus Bound

Aeschylus

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

  1. You lament and are full of fear all too soon. Wait until you have learned the rest as well.
Chorus
  1. Proceed, tell all. It is comforting for the sick to know clearly beforehand what pain still awaits them.
Prometheus
  1. You gained your former request easily from me; for you first desired the story of her ordeal from her own lips. Hear now the sequel, the sufferings this maid is fated to endure at Hera’s hand.
