Excerpt from Aeschylus Prometheus Bound: With Introduction and Notes
Our play contains only a portion of the story. In the sequel the poet had the opportunity of representing Zeus as grand, benevolent, and generous, having learnt much by length of rule, and having passed from a tyrant into the wearer of a time - honoured crown and, coming last, this side of the picture would leave the deepest impression.
In the Prometheus Bound we hear of the tyranny of Zeus chiefly from those who suffer from it. Neither Zeus himself, nor any of the greater Olympian Gods, appear upon the stage and it is open to us to suppose that his tyranny may have been even necessary in the age of general violence from which it had just emerged.
