AESCHYLUS . PROMETHEUS BOUND . Translated by Ian Johnston Vancouver Island University Nanaimo, BC. Canada 2012. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE. In the following text, the numbers without brackets refer to the English text, and those in square brackets refer to the Greek text. Indented partial lines are included with the line above in the reckoning. All endnotes (indicated by asterisks in the text) have been provided by the translator (often with the help of F. A. Paley's commentary on the play). BACKGROUND NOTE. AESCHYLUS ( BC to BC) was one of the three great Greek tragic dramatists whose works have survived. Of his many plays, seven still remain. AESCHYLUS may have fought against the Persians at Marathon (490 BC), and he did so again at Salamis (480 BC). According to tradition, he died from being hit with a tortoise dropped by an eagle. After his death, the Athenians, as a mark of respect, permitted his works to be restaged in their annual competitions. PROMETHEUS BOUND was apparently the first play in a trilogy (the other two plays, now lost except for some fragments, were PROMETHEUS Unbound and PROMETHEUS the Fire-Bringer).
