Prometheus Bound and Other Plays collects four tragedies by Aeschylus, the earliest of the three Athenian tragedians whose complete plays survive. In Prometheus Bound the Titan is chained to a rock on Zeus's orders for giving humankind fire and skills. The Persians presents the news of Xerxes' defeat at Salamis as heard at the Persian court. Seven Against Thebes shows the city under siege while the two sons of Oedipus face each other. The Suppliants follows the daughters of Danaus, who flee to Argos and ask its king for protection.
