About this piece
Prometheus laments his fate
Summary
Prometheus Bound's story is about the punishment that Zeus inflicts upon Prometheus for giving the human race the gift of fire. There is no action, just dialogue and speeches as Prometheus is chained throughout the play. At the beginning of the play Kratos, Bia and Hephaestus (Zeus' servants) carry Prometheus to a rocky mountain in the Caucasus and chain him to a rock. When they depart Prometheus delivers this monologue where he laments his fate.
