«Prometeo encadenado» is the Greek tragedy by Aeschylus, published by Independently Published in paperback (75 pages, in Spanish).
Tragedy based on the myth of Prometheus, the Titan who steals fire to give it to humans and defies Zeus. As punishment, the god chains him to a rock. It is considered the first part of a trilogy of which only fragments remain; among its themes are tyranny, sacrifice, and the clash between divine power and human progress.
Authorship is traditionally attributed to Aeschylus; this edition includes the translation by Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo. Original title: Προμηθεύς Δεσμώτης.
For readers interested in classical theater, Greek myths, and ancient literature.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
