Ancient & Classical Editorial Review
The Prometheus Bound Greek Tragedy in New Translations Reprint Edition has received mixed reviews. While the text and translation are Considered excellent by some readers, there have been issues with the Kindle edition's formatting. Some readers have also reported that the book is not the full version, as it is missing some dialogue, and the part where Hercules rescues Prometheus is left out. However, many readers find the book to be a great read and recommend it to others. The play itself is Considered gripping and is said to keep the reader's attention. The translation is beautiful and not too difficult to understand, making it an excellent option for college classes. The preface given by the translator also provides background information and clears up any confusion that readers may have.
