I love the introduction, translation, and notes. Very well informed and stimulating. (John Lenz, Drew University)

The notes and introduction are excellent and the translation itself is clear and effective. (E. Christian Kopff, University of Colorado)

A fine translation. (Betty Nye Quinn, Mount Holyoke College)

Glossary and appendix very helpful. I like the remarks on staging in the introduction. (Patricia P. Matsen, University of South Carolina)

It would be hard to fault this extremely forceful translation, cogent introduction and helpful notes - I look forward to tackling other works in this series. (Jan Gorais, University of Denver)

Reseña del editor

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.
