Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Greek Masterpieces in Dramatic and Bucolic Poetry: Thought Into English Verse The property in Æschylus which particularly impresses me is his power of concentration on a single character; even on one point. All dramatists have for each play a character about whom the rest, persons and incidents, gather, or are supposed to gather. An author of a book desires to spread the interest. Indeed, characters themselves, whether in play or volume, have an instinct for refusing to be despotically absorbed. Æschylus in his "Prometheus" insisted upon it, and succeeds. From the first verse of the Play to the last, minds, emotions are, as spectacularly they could not help being, riveted on the agonized figure on the cliff´s side. Not that this is all, even the chief marvel, of the piece. Ages, worlds, of manifold passion, conflict, past, future, present - unfathomable in themselves - change and interchange, whirl round the Deity undeified, suffering pain as men suffer pain; only that none human could survive this. He has insight into decrees of Fate which mighty Zeus covets to learn, though they might show Him consigned to be mocked by His captive Titans in Tartarus.
