Prometheus Amid Hurricane And Earthquake

A poem by Aeschylus (c. 525 – c. 456 Before Christ )

Earth is rocking in space!

And the thunders crash up with a roar upon roar,

And the eddying lightnings flash fire in my face,

And the whirlwinds are whirling the dust round and round-

And the blasts of the winds universal leap free

And blow each other upon each, with a passion of sound,

And æther goes mingling in storm with the sea!

Such a curse on my head, in a manifest dread,

From the hand of your Zeus has been hurtled along!

O my mother’s fair glory! O Æther, enringing

All eyes with the sweet common light of thy bringing,

Dost see how I suffer this wrong?
