商品簡介
Prometheus and this singular drama are essential to understanding libertarianism and the relationship of humans to the divine, especially when humans have more than a slight inkling they are themselves divine. While we consider how Prometheus asserts his own opinion of himself as the only force that stands between the human race and extinction, we must also consider the nature of that extinction, and the involvement of the divine in its presence and possibility in the form of a decidedly cranky and misanthropic Zeus. Podlecki (classics emeritus, U. of British Columbia) provides substantial commentary along with his elegant translation, giving readers new to the issues (and new to the controversies about authorship) contexts applicable to the time of the drama and the current age, both of which are struggling in that wide zone between heaven and hell.
