ad the excerpt from "Prometheus Unbound by
Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Prometheus.]
Whilst me, who am thy foe, eyeless in hate,
Hast thou made reign and triumph, to thy scorn
O'er mine own misery and thy vain revenge
Three thousand years of sleep-unsheltered hours,
And moments aye divided by keen pangs
Till they seemed years, torture and solitude,
Scorn and despair-these are mine empire-
More glorious far than that which thou surveyest
From thine unenvied throne, O Mighty God!"
Jupiter has chained Prometheus to the face of a
steep cliff to be tortured for all eternity as punishment
for giving humans fire. In this excerpt, Prometheus is
raging against Jupiter for the injustice being done to
him Prometheus defiantly tells Jupiter that, even
What do Shelley's and Peabody's passages have in
common?
Prometheus tells of the danger to Zeus.
O Prometheus is tortured for many years
O Prometheus is sought out by the Titans.
Prometheus continues helping humans.
