Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This is the best Prometheus Bound in English. Deborah Roberts' translation is accurate, readable, and true to the original in idiom, imagery, and the combination of a high style with occasional colloquialism. The informative notes and perceptive Introduction will help readers to experience the play with heightened pleasure and understanding. —Seth L. Schein, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Davis
