PREFACE. 



The subject of this tragedy is a struggle between abso- 
lute power and the spirit of freedom as displayed by an 
unsubdued will amid the severest sufferings. Prometheus 
is condemned by the ruler of the Gods to atone for having 
stolen fire from heaven, by being nailed and chcuned to a 
lonely rock. There can be but little action m such a plot 
where the chief character is passive ; but the poet has 
thrown into it a very deep interest by the person of the 
sufferer and the grandeur of the scenery, while the few 
incidents of the play tend directly or by contrast to mani- 
fest the unconquerable will of Prometheus. His offence 
itself enlists our sympathies \ it is, that he raised the 
human race from the lowest misery, against the will of a 
monarch who sought to destroy it. He is a divinity, and 
the chief of the allies through whose aid Jupiter tore the 
sceptre from his father's hand ; and by his prophetic spirit 
he looks through long ages of torture to the time when he 
is destined to be loosed. Thus, though powerless, he is not 
in despair ; but alive as he is to the feeling of pain, and 
bewailing, as he does, his lot, he can yet make up his mind 
to come to no terms with his oppressor, a.nd already triumphs 
in the prospect that Jupiter will be forced, for his own sake, 
to set him free. 

The pla'' opens with the preparatives for the torturo

Force £md Might, two giant ministere of Jove, (see Hes?x)d'8 
TheogcMiy, 385,) accompanied by Vulcan, appear upon the 
stage ; Force is a mute spectator, and his office may be 
conceived to have been that of dragging the struggling God 
to the place. But Might oversees the fulfilment of the 
sentence ; and while Vulcan drives the nails, and clasps the 
chains, he chides the tardiness of the work, and taunts Pro- 
metheus with the folly of his opposition to the Gods. After 
these executioners have withdrawn, the Chorus of sea- 
nymphs (probably fifteen in number), hearing the sound of 
driven steel, assemble and condole with their kinsman : they 
are the representatives of that honest but weak class, whose 
open sympathy with the oppressed is beneath the tyrant's 
notice. Oceanus, their father, next appears, gives whole- 
some advice to Prometheus, and offers to intercede with Jove 
in his behalf. The offer is scorned, and indeed was made 
rather for form's sake, than from any belief that it would be 
accepted. Oceanus is one who feels a degree of kindness 
for the oppressed, but wishes mainly to keep himself out of 
danger, and to stand well with both parties. After his de- 
parture, Prometheus, as one who has resolved to endure his 
evils, and who seeks to occupy his mind with other thoughts, 
tells the Chorus the blessings which he had conferred upon 
mankind by the gift of fire. Thus he calls forth our inter- 
est, and shows the malignity of Jupiter. 

A new sufferer now appears. lo, the victim of lust and 
vengeance, driven through the wildest parts of the earth in 
an altered form, passes the spot where Prometheus is chain- 
ed. He predicts her future course, and relates her past 
wanderings. She leaves the place, goaded by the same 
maddening spectre of Argos which drove her thither. The 
dramatic connection of this part with tlie rest of the play Is 
somewhat remote. It lies partly in the fact that Prometheus 
and lo are victims of the same oppression ; but chiefly in 
the decree of fate, that one of her descendants, Hercules,

ihall loose him from his bonds. But, viewed in regard to 
internal unity, this part is quite one with the rest, and lo, b^p 
the entire contrast of her character in the same circumstan- 
ces, acts as a foil to Prometheus. She is all passive endur- 
ance ; Ae, free resistance ; she is despair, and he hope. 
Even their very woes are contrasted : he, the free one, is 
chained, and she, the passive one, is left free to wander at 
large. It must have been the perception of the effect of 
these contrasts that led the poet, perhaps unconsciously, to 
select the story of lo from the variety of incidents which he 
might have woven into the plot. 

Prometheus boasts, before lo and the Chorus, that he fore- 
sees a ruinous marriage, into which Jupiter will enter, una- 
ware of his danger. Mercury now appears, to demand 
what marriage he speaks of. He refuses to tell ; and the 
play closes with a wilder display of vengeance than that 
with which it opened. The bolt is hifrled from heaven ; the 
elements are thrown into disorder ; the rocks are blasted 
around Prometheus ; his body is thunder-riven ; but, un- 
yielding still, he cries to the sky and to his mother Themis 
to behold the injustice which he is suffering. " The tri- 
umph of subjection," says Schlegel, " was never celebrat- 
ed in more glorious strains, and we have difficulty in con- 
ceiving how the poet could sustain himself on such an ele- 
vation." 

It is worthy of remark, that iEschylus in this play seems 
to scorn the poetical religion of Greece, and to show little 
reverence towards the chief of the Gods. Elsewhere, and 
especially in the Choruses of the Suppliants, the character 
of Jupiter is set forth in terms worthy of the supreme ruler. 
But here he is the successful usurper, who forgets the friends 
that helped him ; is a foe to the race of man ; acts accord- 
ing to his will rather than his reason ; and is controlled by 
fete. It is not easy to say why so religious a poet ventured 
to guide his hearer^s sympathies against Jupiter and in favoi

of Prometheus, or how he ventured to choose a plot in 
which human feelings could take no other channel. One 
might almost think that he conceived of Jupiter as passing 
through the changes of character which were to be seen 
in some Greek tyrants; — as reigning arbitrarily and hj 
force at first, crushing his foes and strengthening his pow- 
er by whatever means ; but afterwards, when his end 
was gained, becoming mild, just, and the father of Gods 
and men.* Or it may be that he stood aloof from the pop- 

* This paragraph of the preface was written for the second edition, 
in 1840, and the theory here propounded was probably suggested by 
what Dissen says in "Welcker's work, to which reference is made just 
below. Since that time, in the year 1844, Prof Schbmann, of Greifs- 
wald, has published his poetical translation of the Prometheus Bound, 
and a Prometheus Loosed of his own, written with a view to illustrate 
a theory in regard to the Promethean trilogy. That theory in its 
outlines is, that we have no right to judge of the final impression of 
the tout ensemble from this play, which formed the middle act of the 
great drama, and in which Prometheus has the field almost entirely 
to himself; that the poet did not sympathize with Prometheus, but 
regarded him as a transgressor of divine law justly punished ; and 
that, in tlie closing act, where he was freed from his chains by the clem- 
ency of Zeus, he owned his fault, submitted, and was heartily reconciled. 
As for the human sympathies which he enlists by his resistance, on be- 
half of mankind, to the plans of Zeus, he misrepresents the feelings of 
Zeus toward the human race, and his intervention is uncalled for. 
In short, he is partial in his statements, a croi^toT^; in a worse sense 
than that in which Hermes applies to him the term, as well as TriKpcas 
vnepTTiKpos (v. 944) The closing member of the trilogy must have 
purified the" minds of the audience from the impressions which the 
Prometheus Loosed by itself is calculated to make. 

It would be idle, within the limits of a note, to discuss this theory, 
which, proceeding as it did from an admirable scholar, made quite a 
sensation, and yet failed to work conviction in many minds, and, I 
must confess, in my own. It defends the religious consistency of -^s- 
chylus at the expense of his dramatic skill ; for what ought to be said 
of the art of a poet who, through one whole drama, gives no sign that 
he does not regard Zeus as acting tyrannically ? No character in the 
piece takes side against Prometheus, except Hermes, the "runner" of

alar religion, and thought it right to use its fahles in his dra^ 
mas with little scruple as to their tendency, while yet his 
own idea of God was a lofty one, and was inculcated wher- 

Zeus, and Eratos, who has no more of the moral person about him 
than a thunderbolt. The Chorus, indeed, pronounce that he has made 
a mistake in helping mankind (v. 260), and exhort him to greater mod- 
eration of language and feeling (w. 928, 936, 1036) ; but then they show 
all along a tender compassion for him, and are willing to share his 
woes (w. 1066 - 1070), as those of an injured person whose side they 
have espoused. Their father, Oceanus, ui^ges Prometheus to a milder 
and more yielding course, not because he has sinned, but because a 
^ rough monarch and an irresponsible bears sway." As for lo, it is not 
easy to see why she is drawn into the stream of the action, unless to 
increase the tide of feeling against Zeus. And what is most worthy of 
notice, the words of Hephsestus himself, own son of Zeus, are to his 
disadyantage : — 

dirtK de Tpaxps Saris &p viov Kparj* 

Who does not see that the poet, speaking through the mouth of the 
Fire-god, — who, by the way, is not so very resentful against Prome- 
theus for stealing his attribute of fire, — oond^nns Zeus as sweeping 
too dean with his new broom of power? 

Upon the whole, I am willing to believe that the last play of the tril- 
ogy, if extant, would modify the feelings which this drama leaves on 
the mind. I am willing also to admit, that the sympathy on behalf of 
Prometheus exacted by the present play is more a modem feeling, 
than one which would be awakened in the breasts of an Athenian au- 
dience. But if they did not go along with the sufferer in their sensi- 
bilities, surely they cannot have abstained from compassionating Jo, 
whose wrongs at the hand of Zeus are not to be explained by any 
denouement in the third part of the trilogy, and must have been in- 
consistent with the moral standard of the poet himself. Thus we see 
that he cannot have intended in this drama to exhibit Zeus as a per- 
fect sovereign, having all the right on his side, but rather as a sovereign 
who found it necessary to resort to severity in order to establish his 
power, while the question of the right and wrong of the plans of Zeui 
^ entirely put out of sight. The two foes then came together at the 
jut m a, compromise. Prometheus, disclosing an important secret 
was treated mildly, while he gave in his adherence to the new govern- 
ment. — 1849 



Tlii PREFACE. 

ever the occasion allowed of it The character of Prome^ 
theus, again, is better than old Hesiod represents it Know- 
ing the cost to himself, he seeks to save man from ignorance 
and ruin. Prometheus has been compared to Milton's Sa- 
tan, but differs essentially from him as a character of po- 
etry. They are both proud and unyielding ; but Satan 
breathes despair and malignity ; Prometheus, hope and kind- 
ness to man. Satan is lofty beyond all other characters of 
poetry, but can draw forth none of that sympathy which 
moves freely for Prometheus. 

iEschylus wrote three or four plays upon the story of 
Prometheus. One of these, called Prometheus Ilvpieacvf , 
was a satyric drama, and was acted with Phineus, Persae, 
and Glaucus Potnieus, when Meno was archon (Olymp. 67. 
4, B. C. 372), as we learn from the argument of Persw. 
If this was distinct from the Prometheus nvp<l)6pos^ we have 
three tragedies, which may have been exhibited together, 
relating, according to the practice of iEschylus, like Aga- 
memnon, Choephori, and the Furies, to the same story. 
This being admitted, — which a modem scholar of great 
learning and ingenuity. Professor Welcker, of Bonn, tries 
to show in his -^ischylische Trilogie, — the Ilvp<l)6pos would 
of course occupy the first place. It must have represented 
the act of carrying off fire from the smithy of Vulcan on 
the volcanic mountain Mosychlus, in the island of Lemnos ; 
and may have described the marriage of Prometheus and 
Hesione. (See v. 555 of the present play.) In the second 
play we have the penalty of Prometheus : at the end he 
is covered with fragments of riven rocks, and hidden from 
sight After a long time he emerges on Mount Caucasus, 
where the eagle preys on his liver. Here the scene of the 
Prometheus Loosed is laid, in which the Titans, now released 
from confinement, form the Chorus. Hercules shoots the 
eagle with an arrow, and frees Promelheus ; while the latter 
relates to Hercules some of the adventures which he is to

meet with Thus w6 have in the three dramas, crime, pun- 
ishment, and reconciliation ; and whether exhibited together 
or not, they form a dramatic whole. Those who wish to 
enter further into this matter are referred to Welcker's book 
above mentioned, and to Hermann's dissertation on the otii- 
er side, " De iEschyli Prometheo Soluto," in his Opuscula, 
Vol. IV.» 

The place where Prometheus is chained, in the present 
piece, is a rock in European Scythia (2), separated from 
Mount Caucasus on the west by the country of the Nomad 
Scythians, by that of the Chalybes, and by the course of 
the Hybristes, and lying on the sea-coast. (707-719, 422, 
573.) The sea in the poet's mina may have been the 
Hyperborean or Scythian. (See 712, note.) Herein he 
departed from the received fable, of which the scene was 
Caucasus, and chose a place where his Chorus of ocean- 
nymphs could more conveniently assemble. Welcker, how- 
ever, maintains, with the writers of the argument, that a 
point of Caucasus below the summit of the mountain was 
intended to be the scene of the drama : — indeed, he seems 
to think a difference fatal to the theory that the Bound and 
Loosed Prometheus were acted together. But, with Volcker 
(Mythische Geographic, p. 200), we may say, that Prome- 
theus, afler being buried among the rocks (1019), may 
have emerged on Caucasus. Most of the best scholars 
who have expressed their opinion on this point are against 
Welcker ; such as Person, Jacobs, Hermann, Schomann, 
and the author of the excellent little treatise just cited. 

The time when the Chained Prometheus was acted is 
uncertain. There is a prophecy at v. 367 of an eruption of 
Mount iBtna, which must allude to one that took place oc-

cording to the Pariau Chronicle in Olymp. 75. 2, or accord- 
ing to Thucydides (3, sub fin.) several years later. This 
was the second eruption after the settlement of the Greeks 
in Sicily, and indeed the first of which any thing besides the 
mere event is known. Again, w. 347 - 372 contain, as i 
tliink, a clear imitation of Pindar's first Pythian, which was 
composed Olymp. 77. 3 ; or, as Boeckh (on Pind. Pyth. 1 ) 
shows, 76. 3. -^schylus went to Sicily after 77. 4, and 
perhaps stayed there until his death, but still brought forward 
plays upon the Athenian stage. We seem to have, then, the 
time before which this part of the play cannot have been writ- 
ten ; but the passage may have been added on a reacting in 
Sicily, — a supposition which will account for its episodical 
character, and for its being given, in the ordinary text, to the 
wrong person. 



The first edition, with a text chiefly following that of W, 
Dindorf in his " Poetss Scenici," appeared in 1837 ; the sec- 
ond, with an unaltered text, but with many new notes, in 1841. 
I have now in this third edition corrected and added to the

1.) On the persons of the drama. 

EratoB and Bia both appeared on the stage, but the latter 
was a mute. It is not improbable that an image representing 
Prometheus was fastened to the rocks, or within a fissure of 
rock, behind which an actor was stationed. This play re- 
quires but two actors, one of whom played the parts of 
KratoB, Okeanus, lo, and Hermes, and the other those of 
HephsBstus and Prometheus. lo appeared on the stage prob- 
ably as a female, and yet as fiovKtp^t. 

2.) On the arguments. — Arg. 1. The lost play of Sopho- 
cles here spoken of must have been called Kolchides from its 
chorus, and have related to the adventures of the Argonauts 
at the palace of iBetes, including the death of Apsyrtus, of 
which he chose to make that the scene. A line from this 
play, still preserved, 

vfuis flip ovK Up §<rr€ rhp Tlpofuifiia^ 
may have introduced the episode of which Hie ai^ument 
makes mention. — Arg. 2. The inferior age of this writer 
is shown by Xcycc t»a vtitrjj^ with the sense here belonging to 
these words ; by T€(ti^ more poetic for rt^rrai^ the usual prose 
form ; and by ii^i fiovk6fi€Pov^ for od Pcvk6fL€Pop,

54 PROMETHEUS. 

V. 417, like many other nouns, especially national names, 
ofjuor is rendered tracts region,, by Passow. The nearest 
approach to this sense is found in the Homeric use of the 
word to denote the parallel plates of a shield, and in its ap- 
plication to the stripes or zones of which a shield might be 
composed. Schomann therefore understands it of Scythia, 
as tlie strip or long tract of land stretching across the nortli- 
em parts of the world. Or licv&rjs oi/ux, without implying 
the existence of a path, may be regarded as an ornamental 
expression for Scythia^ considered as the region where their 
track lay. The word is again used in v. 394. Comp. 281, 
where the air is called the ir6pos of birds, i. e. the j,lace 

through which they pass. afiaroy. Another reading, 

SPpoTovy cited by several ancient grammarians, is preferred 
by Blomf. It seems, however, to have less authority than 
the reading of the MSS., and may have sprung from the con- 
jecture of some one, who thought that there was an incon- 
sistency between oifioy and Sfiarov, 

3. In abrupt addresses, where dc and a vocative occur, 
the vocative is put first, and a personal pronoun with dc sue 
ceeds. Comp. Mt. § 312. 3. — The order is, xpn «noToXdj

avbpo(fi6vos. Xenophon, Mem. I. 3. 9, uses this word with 
6€ppovpy6sy hold^ boldly wicked, Herm. compares pqlUovpySfs. 

6. abap£univ(»v^ of adamant or hard iron* adcfftoynSdcroff,

epithet of some metal, came to mean especially hard iron^

now he must learn to love Jupiter's government. So Wel- 
lauer and J. Jones in Class. Joum. 17. 31. 

13. oh^v tfjLirodibv thh there is nothing before youy or re-

common shade of meaning. Blomf. renders it somewhat 
loosely reliquum^ but Zn contains that idea. 

14. €rvyy€iffi denotes nothing more than that both belonged 
to the race of the Grods. 

15. <l>dpay$. Blomf. vallis inter montium prarupta^ i. e. a 
cleft^ chasm^ gorge. But the word, wherever used in this 
play, unless perhaps in v. 142, denotes a cliff or rock 
bordering such a chasm. Otherwise the expressions &XM^^^ 
ip (l}dpayyit V. 618, <nrapd(€i <^&payyat V. 1017, and bfja'ai frp6s 
^opoyyc of the present line, would have no sense. 

16. aj(€$€Uf Elmsley regards as an aorist (comp. his note 
on HeraclidsB 272), and it is here accented as such. The 
sense requires that an aorist infin. expressive of a single 
action or event, and not a present expressive of continued, 
or repeated, or unfinished action, should be used.

Xi^ 18 now and then active, but usually neuter. The Schol. 
(m that passage, Suidas, Hesychius, and the Et3rni. Mag., 
concur in assigning as the original meaning of this verb to ' 
remove a burden from the neck^ and in deriving it from \6<f>of. 
If they are right, the metaphor corresponds with the literal 
meaning of dx^d^y, htrdeneomeness. -— oi v€f^iU v». 
Hercules, who was to deliver Prometheus, is not meant by

49. The reading of the MBS. here, dmnfr hrpdxBr/^ is of 
difficult explanation, as may be seen by reading the twisted 
interpretations of the Scholiasts. Schiitz renders the pass- 
age " omnia diis sunt acquisita prsBterquam imperare " ; 
Scholefield, " omnia diis fieri solent^ i. e. possunt,*' ic. r. X.

cotpovcty. The words may be rendered, " you acquired (i. e.

Gods ; and no one has this (isfree^ supreme), except Jupi- 
ter. Your lot, therefore, is not so bad." But the sense 
elicited from these words is so oracular at the best, that in this 
third edition I have followed Stanley^s elegant conjecture ap- 
proved by Hermann and received by Blomf. and by Scho- 
mann ; which accords exceedingly well with the next line, 
and with the character of the speaker ; all things are oner' 
ous hU to reign over the Gods ; for no one is free save Jove : 
i. e. there is toil in every condition except that of the su- 
preme ruler.

which it begins is epexegetical of r^ impx^iifvov ir^fta.

109. According to Hesiod (Op. et Dies 52), Prometheus 
stole fire in the hollow stalk of the narthex (or ferula), a 
tall, umbelliferous plant, used by the worshippers of Bacchus 
for staves, the dry pith of which kindled easily. The fable 
in this particular selected a plant used for conveyiqg fire 
from one neighbour to another, and which is still so employed 
in Cyprus, under the name of vdpdrjKa. (Walpole's Memoirs, 
284, in Welcker's Trilogie, 8.)

grounds. 

115. ^luL The poets taught that an ambrosial perfume 
exhaled from the persons and vestments of the Gods, arising 
from the fragrant ointments with which they were conceived 
to anoint themselves after the manner of men. See Iliad

116. KtKpofuvri, The Schol. and Schutz take this to mean 
pertaining to a demigod^ whose nature is human and di- 
vine mingled. Others, pertaining to gods and men both.

139. The early Greeks conceived of the earth as land 
surrounded by water flowing in a perpetual current Hence 
Ocean is called a river by Homer, Iliad xviiL 607, and ia 
next to the rim of the shield of Achilles. Herodotus (4. 36) 
alludes to this opinion, to discard it. The Grod and the 
stream are here blended. In w. 284 and 300 the God is 
conceived of as coming from the Ocean-stream lying at a 
great distance to the place where Prometheus is bound, 
near the northern sea. Comp- v. 531, where the Chorus 
speaks of sacrifices ofiered upon the shores of this stream.

Prometheus, as well as his mother, foretold to him the future. 
Gsea is called iFp&roiJuurns {in Joe. eit) and had many names,

66 , PROMETHEUS. 

Elmsley's conjecture, which is, I think, clearly correct, ol 
drjra reaffirms what Prometheus had said, and introduces an 
instance of his sympathy ; but, in the mouth of Oceanus, it 
is not at all to the point That he felt sympathy was no rea- 
son to suppose that Prometheus, in his very different situa- 
tion, should feel it also. The prophecy, again, in v. 367, 
comes most appropriately from the mouth of the son of 
Themis. V. 373 not only cannot begin a new discourse 
without great abruptness, but it necessarily continues the pre- 
ceding discourse, which contains an argument to Oceanus 
not to oppose Zeus. The words ovd* ifiov didtwKdkov xPbC^^^ 
will have no pertinence, if Prometheus has not been teaching 
his friend what the cost is of disobedience to the supreme 
ruler. It may be added that Atlas was the brother, not of 
Oceanus, but of Prometheus (the sons of Japetus in He- 
siod — Theog. 510 — being Prometheus, Epimetheus, At- 
las, and Mencetius) ; and that Kacrtyt^rov must be my brotk- 
er. For a conjecture as to the origin of this passage, see 
the Preface. 

351. -^Eschylus seems, in this extended description of Ty- 
phon, to have had Pindar's first Pythian before his eyes, 
which was written but a little before the Prometheus : in- 
deed, the imitation is close, but it falls far short of the orig- 
inal, which is one of the brightest gems in Greek poetry. 
It may even be justly charged with being turgid. — yiryci^* 
In Hesiod's Theogony this Typhon or Typhoeus is the 
youngest child of GsBa, bom in Tartarus. He is subterra- 
nean fire personified ; the cause of volcanic eruptions and 
earthquakes.

riolates the metre, by giving an anapaest in the second 
piece; but is still retained by Well., who thinks that the 
poet designedly departed from the rule, in order, by an ad- 
ditional syllable, to express more vastness. 

354. This line in the MSS., with the reading naatv tt 
dvritmi 6toU^ contains an inadmissible anapaest in the fourth 
place, which many critics have tried to do away with. Wun- 
derlich proposed own;, and supposed the construction to be 
ts dvtoTij avpiC^p <^»ov Koiri Btcit, Dindorf (Prsef. ad Poet. 
Seen.) removes every difficulty by adopting this reading, and 
taking avc<my (koit together, in the sense, rose up against Uie 
gods. He cites for this use Iliad xxiii. 635 : 

*AyK<uou d* {^iPiKrjo'a) vaXrj IlXev/Movtoy, os fiot dv€<rnj.

506. The allegorical meaning of the fable of Prometheus 
seems to have been present to the poef s mind in this pas« 
sage, from v. 439. As Prometheus is the speaker, of course 
a very favorable account is given of his interference in favor 
of mankind. The earliest version of this fable may be 
found in Hesiod's Works and Days. There is another differ 
ing from this in Hesiod's Theogony. In the fable, Prome- 
theus, as the name shows, is understanding or forethought 
personified, as his brother Epimetheus is afterthought, 
thought after action or imprudence. He steals fire from 
heaven for men, and thus represents the human mind reach- 
ing after knowledge above its condition, in order that men 
" may be as Gods, knowing good and evil." Man in the 
fable is punished by means of Pandora, the woman whom 
he received; who perhaps stands for sensuality, and who 
opened the way for all the woes of the race. Prometheus 
is punished by the vulture of restless, unsatisfied desire 
gnawing his heart, and by the chains of earthly impotence, 
which gall his free will and aspiring thoughts ; until, by the 
consent of Jupiter, Hercules slays the vulture and looses 
the bonds ; and a God (see v. 1027) bears the penalty in his 
place. He now becomes reconciled to the sway of Jove. 
That tliere is in this fable — if we overlook some unessen- 
tial circumstances — a striking resemblance to the Scriptural 
account of the fall of man cannot be doubted ; though it 
may be hard to say whether the fable grew up on Greek 
ground, or was an altered form of an old tradition. But 
what shall we say of the interoosition of Jupiter's son, and

was but darkly seen even by Jewish prophets ?

Homer, Iliad xiv. 427, xxiii. 70. 

516. The Fates ordain ; the Furies execute, especially 
when murders have been committed. The extent of author- 
ity here given to the Furies is remarkable. In this play the 
Fates are placed above Jupiter (515-517,769,771,918 
seq.)^ but in other pieces of iE^hylus are subordinate to 
him, or united in idea with him, as the highest power. Even 
here his own free act (performed, however, in ignorance 
of its consequences) will bring about what is fated. ^^ The 
poet modifies the relation between him and them according 
to the nature of the subject. Prometheus belongs to the 
purely mythic period ; and iEschylus could therefore follow 
the idea which might be formed concerning Jupiter soon 
after he had dethroned his father.^^ Bliimner on the Idea

something soft, as wax, melted into or upon any thnig. In 
Electra 1311, Sophocles has the expression liUros iyriTtjKi

ceive of their moon-goddess as a heifer, and such is lo^s 
form. Having beccmie a mythol<^cal person, she came into

The Tartars have still this same -kind of houses on wheels. 
William de Rubruquis saw them in the year 1253, and 
describes them thus (Transl. in Pinkcrton, Vol. VII. p. 28) : 
— " Their houses they raise upon a round foundation of 
wickers artificially wrought and compacted together; the 
roof consisting of wickers also, meeting above in one little 
roundel, out of which there rises upward a neck like a 
chimney, which they cover with white felt, &c. — These 
houses they made so large that they contain thirty feet 
in breadth ; — I told two-and-twenty oxen in one draught 
drawing a house upon a cart." And so Marco Polo (Pinker- 
ton, Vol. Vn. p. 123). 

712, &c. What is said by the poet concerning lo's wan- 
derings is quite at variance with geographical truth, and it 
is difficult to say in all cases what view of her course he had 
in his own mind. From the vicinity of Argos (676) she 
went to the oracle of Dodona (830), and to the coast of the 
Ionian or Adriatic Sea. Thence she turned, travelling no 
longer in a westerly direction ; but the poet is silent about 
her path, until she arrives at the scene of this play, which 
seems to have been the shore of the Hyperborean or Sc)rthi- 
an Sea. This sea .^^hylus may have regarded as being 
far to the south of its actual place. To now goes towards 
the east (707), and avoids the Scythian nomads by drawing 
nigh to a rocky coast, which Schutz takes for that of the 
Palus Meeotis. The Chalybes are an otherwise unknown 
nation of that name, so called from their skill in working 
iron. A number of barbarous tribes, both in mythic and in 
historic geography, bore this appellation. Xenophon fell in 
with two ; one near Armenia (Anab. IV. 5. 34), and anoth-

is exceedingly wrong. The mouth of the Thermodon, on 
the southern coast of the Euxine, was some ten degrees of 
longitude east of Salmydessus on the western. Of this the 
poet could hardly be ignorant, as the Euxine trade of Athens 
must already have become considerable. He may, however, 
have followed some of the early fables relating to the Argo- 
nauts, in placing this town on the southern coast To avoid 
the difficulty here noticed, Volcker, in his Mythische Ge- 
ographie, begins a new sentence at mi, while G. Schneider 
joins mx, not with the clause before it, but with jS^wu. In 
the latter case, lo ought to go towards the northwest instead 
of the south ; in the former, we have a harsh as3mdeton, and 
violence is done to the natural obvious construction. Fox

tis, called Salmydessian, because the coast known by that 

name extended to the Thracian Bosporus. The country 

of the Amazons was considered in Strabo's time (see 11. 5, 
§ 1 - 3) to be in the mountains above Albania, or else under 
Caucasus towards the north. The poet places them farther 
to the south, and a set of fables settled them near the Ther- 
modon. They guided lo with great pleamre^ cm account of 
her sex, but by what route it does not appear ; perhaps 
around the Euxine.

this scheme, lo went from Asia into Europe by crossuig die 
strait named from her the Bosporus. In order to. bring her 
back into Asia again, which v. 735 requites, Scbiitz takes 
her along the northern coast of the Euxine, and acioss the 
Thracian Bo^>orus into Asia Minor, and the next thing we 
hear of her is her arrival at Cisthene, near the ends of the 
earth. The improbability of this is manifest. lo passes 
from some European region into the Tauric Chersonese, 
swims the Bosporus, and is dius in Ai»a at once. The

where he left off, v. 735. It is possible, however, that the

Prometheus Loosed, he calls the boundary of Europe and 
Asia. 

791. There is plainly a lacuna here, and some suppose 
that a number of lines is lost. This renders the jarring 
tlieories ccmceming the course of lo both possible and un- 
certain. It is not certain what sea is meant in the next line ; 
Voss discovers it to be Ae Thracian Bosporus; Volcker, 
the Straits of Gibraltar. Perhaps it is the Caspian. lo 
might say of the critics, iroi, wAjrot^ not ft* Syovat ; 

793. There is from this ptece onward a very wide division 
among scholars, as to the course of lo. Some in the present 
age, as Voss and Hermann, suppose that the poet conceived 
her path to be in a northward and then in a westward direc- 
tion to Libya, where the most common opinion placed the 
Gorgons and Phorcides. Hermann indeed treats the oppo- 
site opinion, viz. that she went eastwardly to ^Ethiopia, with 
contempt (Opuscula, 4. 275) ; but notwithstanding, with 
Mannert (Geog. 4. 88), and MuUer (Geschichte der Dorer, 
1. 277), I accede to it as the best supported. Quite a 
thorough examination of this very difficult subject of lo's 
wandermg is to be found in Volcker's M3rthische Geogra- 
phic (Leipz. 1832), who takes her to the west end of Europe 

and into Libya. Kwr^^inj is called by Harpocration a

the north or northeast of , the Scythians, except by the Scho-
