Aeschylus' 'Prometheus Bound' / A Godly Love vs. Human Love
[ send me this paper ]
In this 5 page essay, comparisons are made between the role of love in 'Prometheus Bound' and 'Hippolytus.'

Additional examples of love's predicament are provided from Prometheus Bound as well -- to further support this thesis (i.e., the case of Iago, etc;). Bibliography lists one additional source.
