What's the best translation for Prometheus Bound? Is Shelley's fanfic any good?
Shelley's thing is interesting because Prometheus Bound was probably one part of a complete story that saw a reconciliation and synthesis of the completely unyielding pride of Prometheus with the necessity of duty and piety etc., but Shelley reads the fragmentary remaining "thesis" (i.e. lacking its antithesis and synthesis) as a very romantic FUCK YEAH PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! story

Hm, interesting, I didn't get the feeling he was leading there at all, it read more as a "bloodied but unbowed" sort of theme. (Don't some people even think it was a later author misattributed to Aeschylus because of the Zeus prophecy stuff?).
