Prometheus: The Firegiver is a poetic drama written by Robert Seymour Bridges and published in 1884. The play centers around the Greek mythological figure Prometheus, who is known for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humans. The play explores themes of rebellion, punishment, and the consequences of defying the gods. The play is divided into three acts, with each act focusing on a different aspect of Prometheus’ story. In the first act, Prometheus is portrayed as a defiant and rebellious figure who challenges the authority of Zeus, the king of the gods. In the second act, Prometheus is punished for his defiance by being chained to a rock and having his liver eaten by an eagle every day. The third act focuses on the aftermath of Prometheus’ punishment and his eventual release from his torment.Throughout the play, Bridges uses poetic language and imagery to convey the emotional and philosophical themes of the story. The play also includes a chorus of characters who comment on the action and provide insight into the characters’ motivations and beliefs.Prometheus: The Firegiver is considered a classic of English literature and has been praised for its lyrical language and exploration of timeless themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
