Summary: "Προμηθεύς Δεσμώτης" by Aeschylus is a classical Greek tragedy, believed to have been written in the 5th century BC. The play focuses on the character of Prometheus, a Titan who defies the gods to aid humanity by stealing fire, an act that leads to his severe punishment by Zeus. The central themes revolve around the conflict between divine authority and human compassion, as well as the exploration of suffering, defiance, and fate. At the start of the play, Prometheus is bound to a desolate rock as punishment for giving fire to humanity. Characters such as Hephaestus, the blacksmith god who is forced to bind him, and the personifications of Force and Strength, carry out Zeus's orders. Prometheus mourns his fate but remains proud, refusing to reveal a secret that could lead to Zeus's fall. Visitors, including the Oceanids—daughters of Oceanus—arrive to console him, while the god Oceanus himself expresses concern for Prometheus's suffering and offers help. Despite the weight of his chains and impending torment, Prometheus clings to hope, asserting that the unjust tyranny of Zeus will eventually come to an end.
