Document Summary
He is connection between gods and humanity. Gods tend to punish communities instead of individuals. When trojans take paris, he punishes all trojans not just those who took paris. Prometheus tricked zeus and steals fire and gives to mortals. Why does god keep putting humans as enemies and punishment. Gods need us to worship them so they can be gods. Gods say do as i say or you will suffer. Prometheus bound is textant; means we have all of it. Don"t know exact order of the trilogy. Means the chorus (a group of actors that come together on stage) Song sung by chorus as taking place on stage. May talk to actors, but sing whole time. First ode of chorus, comes after prologue. Prologue is spoken in outside of chorus. Choral interludes explaining/commenting on events of play. All lines in greek text are kind of symmetrical. We like prometheus cus he saves us. Myth shows us that gods are dicks.
