Prometheus Bound (Hackett Classics)

Translated by Deborah Roberts, with Introduction and notes by D. Roberts "This is the best Prometheus Bound in English. Deborah Roberts' translation is accurate, readable, and true to the original in idiom, imagery, and the combination of a high style with occasional colloquialism. The informative notes and perceptive Introduction will help readers to experience the play with heightened pleasure and understanding." --Seth L. Schein, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Davis This is an outstandingly useful edition of Prometheus Bound. The translation is both faithful and graceful, and the introduction to this difficult play is a model of clarity, intelligence, and a profound familiarity with the workings of Greek myth, Greek literature, and literature in general. --Rachel Hadas, Department of English, Rutgers University Aeschylus ; Translated, With Introduction And Notes, By Deborah H.
