Prometheus Bound
People have always fallen victim to tyranny. Furthermore, people have always reacted to oppression differently. Examples are Hitler’s Nazi empire or the Soviet Union under Stalin. In Prometheus Bound, Aeschylus presents a mythological portrayal of tyranny and how others react to it. In the play, Zeus overthrows his father, Kronos, and persecutes the other titans. Zeus exemplifies characteristics of a tyrant, while the titans represent the oppressed. Aeschylus develops these characters and makes them symbolic of stereotypical human reactions to tyranny. Hephaestus symbolizes unwilling submission; Io represents irrational hysteria, and Prometheus depicts ideal strength and honor.
