	Prometheus Unbound
		Prometheus Unbound is perhaps the most complex and difficult of Shelley’s works, but also I think the most rewarding.
		These two (the psychological and the political) are intimately connected, because, as Prometheus Unbound demonstrates perhaps better than any of Shelley’s other texts, one of the effects of living under a tyrannical regime is that you reproduce tyranny within yourself: you fetishize yourself, and start to think that you don’t need anybody else.
		Prometheus went to heaven and stole the fire and brought it back to humanity, and in punishment for this Jupiter chained him to a rock and sent an eagle to eat out his liver every day.

		Prometheus Pyrphoros was the third play in the Prometheia, a series of plays written by the ancient Greek playwright, Aeschylus, chronicaling the trials of Prometheus, the creator and protector of man, who was imprisoned for giving man fire.
		Prometheus acts, in part, as the spirit of love, hating, ipso facto, the spirit of hate, and ruthlessly pursuing it to its doom; in part, as the sublime Christ-like sufferer, who wishes “no living thing to suffer pain,” and will not curse even his persecutor.
		Prometheus Unbound is not to be judged as an essay in the philosophy of progress; but neither is it to be treated merely as a tissue of lovely imagery and music.

	Prometheus
		In Greek mythology, Prometheus, or Prometheas ("forethought") is the Titan chiefly honored for stealing fire from the gods in the stalk of a fennel plant and giving it to mortals for their use.
		Zeus was further enraged by Prometheus's escape and had Prometheus carried to mount Caucasus, where a vulture or an eagle named Ethon (offspring of the monsters Typhon and Echidna) would eat out his liver; it would grow back each day and the eagle would eat it again.
		In mythography, Prometheus may be classed among the trickster gods, such as Loki in Norse mythology (who likewise is a giant rather than a god, is associated with fire (a fire god), and is punished by being chained to a rock and tormented by an animal (a viper dripping venom on him)).

		Prometheus, an immortal Titan, desperately struggles to recall the precise formulation of the curse he uttered against Jupiter only to learn that these words must be spoken by a shade, ghost, or phantom of the dead to avoid suffering further at Jupiter’s hands.
		The curse binds Prometheus and Jupiter, inextricably, together, as the readiness with which Jupiter’s phantasm can recall Prometheus’s words implies that, at the original moment of the curse, Prometheus’s psychological nature was akin to Jupiter’s despotic own.
		Prometheus is able to revoke his curse because he, eventually, understands that the ability to dominate others stems from a selfishness, which makes Jupiter the tyrant blind to his own limitations and unable to reciprocate feelings with another fellow being.

	Shelley's Prometheus Unbound and Aeschylus, by Alfred J. Drake, Ph.D. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Description: Shelley's Prometheus Unbound offers a protagonist at least as defiant as the Titan of Aeschylus' play, but ultimately doubles back upon its optimistic claims for the reintegration of psyche and Cosmos, engaging in an Aeschylan meditation on the complexities of the relationship between imagination and act, words and the world.
		Abstract: It is tempting to stress those portions of Prometheus Unbound that repeat the Aeschylan character's defiance of Zeus, a newly enthroned tyrant whose only justification is power itself.
		What means of liberation suggest themselves in Aeschylus' fragment of a trilogy, and what are we to infer from Shelley's realization of Prometheus' freedom?” Glorifying Prometheus' defiance does little justice to either poet—Shelley and Aeschylus both suggest that much of the change to be wrought must come from Prometheus himself.
