Æschylus' Prometheus Bound and the Seven Against Thebes, Classics To Go

Written by who is perhaps the most pious of the Greek Tragedy writers, this story of the sacrifice of this Titan, along with the comfort he derives from seeing the future of man, as well as Zeus, lends itself to careful consideration as to what qualifies as true greatness and power. (Amazon)

Aeschylus

Aeschylus; (c. 525/524 – c. 456/455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. Academics' knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Before this, characters interacted only with the chorus.
