Excerpt from Æschylus' Prometheus Bound: And the Seven Against Thebes
Prometheus, being bound and left alone, bemoans his. Fate and relates to the chorus of nymphs the base ingrati tude of Jove, who through his counsels having over whelmed the aged Saturn beneath the murky abyss of Tartarus, now rewards his ally with indignities because he had compassion upon mortals.
