Excerpt from Prometheus Unbound: A Lyrical Drama Of all the fables of antiquity, the legend of Prometheus has ever attracted considerable attention, not only on account of its great beauty - for many others are perhaps even more justly celebrated in this respect; but also because of a sublimity of conception and simplicity of treatment barely approached in any of the others. Here we realize that we have been brought into contact with a character whom we take pleasure in remembering, and whom we can scarcely forget.
