Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers accustomed to the relatively undramatic standard translations of Prometheus Bound, this version by James Scully, a poet and winner of the Lamont Poetry Prize, and C. John Herington, one of the world's foremost Aeschylean scholars, will come as a revelation. Scully and Herington accentuate the play's true power, drama, and relevance to modern times. Aeschylus originally wrote Prometheus Bound as part of a tragic trilogy, and this translation is unique in including the extant fragments of the companion plays.

Download or read book The Crucifixion of Intellectual Man written by Eric Alfred Havelock and published by . This book was released on 1950 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nine essays, classics scholar Havelock shows how, in his 'Prometheus Bound, ' Aeschylus dealt with what is the most tragic dilemma of the condition of mankind: the conflict between the intellect and the will. In this ongoing universal drama, modern intellectual man can recognize himself as "the twentieth century philanthropist, civilized, sophisticated, but agonized and controlled by a belligerent will, an almost impersonal force, which denies his vision and tortures his sensibilities. He finds technological man at the mercy of dictatorship. He finds the innocent arbitrarily caught up in suffering. He finds overtones of sympathy and vicarious compassion matched against their exact opposite, a studied and deliberate indifference. In sum, he confronts the tragic dialectic of our own era, in which intellectual man is crucified." The second part of the book contains a new translation of Aeschylus' 'Prometheus Bound' followed by an appendix that discusses the theology of the original work--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prometheus Bound of AEschylus: Literally Translated Into English Verse The reason why the title-page of this book bears the name of an Editor as well as that of a Translator is, that my wife wished for some better guarantee of accuracy than a lady's name could give, and so, rightly or wrongly, looked to me for what she wanted. I have most carefully compared this translation, line by line, with the original, and am not afraid to vouch for its conscientious adherence to the letter of the text. I offer no opinion as to what share of poetic merit it may have, but leave that to critics less biased than myself.

Book excerpt: Henry David Thoreau's translation of "Prometheus Bound" was published in 1843 in the "Dial," the most important magazine of the American transcendentalist movement. This edition makes it available to a wide audience in book form for the first time. This edition also includes descriptions and fragments of the other two plays of Aeschylus' Prometheus trilogy. "Prometheus Bound" has been one of the most influential of the classical Greek tragedies, inspiring poems by Goethe, Shelly, Byron and others. But it is often misunderstood, because it is read in isolation. Read by itself, "Prometheus Bound" seems to tell the story of Prometheus' heroic resistance to Zeus' tyranny. But when we read the entire trilogy, we can see that the relation between Zeus and Prometheus is far more complex. "Prometheus Bound" has always been considered one of the greatest Greek tragedies-and this book lets us see that the Prometheus trilogy as a whole is more powerful than this one play. This edition includes an introduction by the great classical scholar, Nikolaus Wecklein, which has long been out of print. It also includes commentary by Charles Siegel, which makes an important new contribution to scholarship about reconstructing the Prometheus trilogy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus: Rendered Into English Verse It is to be observed that, taken by themselves, none of these models can be altogether followed. In the Elizabethan drama there is much that is deficient in universality, that calls up rufi'led collars and pointed beards-verbal conceits, ephe meral mannerisms. The Hebraic language of the Bible is too primitive, to say nothing Of its dearth Of adjectives, to render the more complex and various language of Greek poetry. The classical constructions of Milton have never become part of English, and would be intolerable at second hand: they would give exactly that cast of cold and conventional unreality, which vitiates what one may call the Eighteenth Century view of Greek antiquity, and which it is one of the main pro-occupations of a translator to avoid.
