The book Prometheus Bound and Seven Against Thebes are two ancient Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus. "Prometheus Bound" tells about the legendary punished god, who became a victim of the wrath of the god Zeus and was chained to a rock for helping people get fire. While "Seven vs Tyve" describes the events surrounding the military campaign of seven heroes against the city of Tyve, which is governed by a divine curse. Both tragedies of Aeschylus are masterpieces of world drama, where he deals with the themes of responsibility, freedom of choice and eternal punishment for violating divine law.
