Chuck Greif, Pat Saumell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Poetical Works of Robert Bridges, Excluding the Eight Dramas" by Robert Bridges is a collection of poems and masks written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive anthology showcases Bridges' poetic talent and thematic range, with prominent works featuring classical inspirations and modern expression. The collection offers an exploration of various topics, including love, nature, and mythology, reflecting the depth and intricacy of human experience. The opening portion of this work introduces "Prometheus the Firegiver," a poetic mask directly inspired by Greek mythology. In this section, Prometheus descends to Earth to deliver fire to humanity, defying the will of Zeus, the king of the gods. The narrative sets the stage for a tension-filled dialogue between Prometheus and Inachus, the king of Argos, as they discuss the implications and consequences of this monumental gift. The themes of rebellion against tyranny and the dual nature of knowledge and power begin to surface, hinting at a larger contemplative exploration of the human condition that unfolds throughout Bridges' poetry.
