Excerpt from The Prometheus of Aeschylus: With Notes, for the Use of Colleges in the United States

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 the rest of the play is somewhat remote. It lies partly in the fact that Prometheus and 10 are victims of the same oppression; but chieﬂy in the decree of fate, that one of her descendants, Hercules.
