Episode 206: Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, Act 4. Prometheus’ Defiance of Zeus’s Messenger Hermes. The Later Reconciliation of Zeus and Prometheus. Prometheus and the Romantic Era.

This podcast is aimed at a non-specialist audience interested in acquiring what Northrop Frye called, in the title of one of his books, an educated imagination.
