 | Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound by C. John Herington, James Scully
The first of an assumed trilogy (the possible sequels, Prometheus Unbound and Prometheus the Fire-Carrier , are lost), Prometheus Bound recounts the mythological tale of the Titan, Prometheus, shackled to a large rock by Zeus as punishment for opposing his plan to destroy mankind. The play consists mainly of a series of speeches by Prometheus lamenting Zeus's tyranny and lauding his own efforts to better mankind's lot. Though Prometheus holds the secret that Zeus is destined to father a child greater than himself, he is unable to avoid his own fate of being swallowed by the rock (the last scene of the play), only to reemerge and be tortured by Zeus's eagle.

 | Henry VI, Part One by Randall Martin, William Shakespeare
The historic King Henry VI lived from 1421 to 1471, however, the three plays which bear his name as titles do not concern him as much as those around him, such as Talbot, of HENRY VI, PART I, who is killed as a result of warring British factions while Henry VI is yet a child-king. The play is set during the final stages of the Hundred Years War against France, after the death of Henry V, who had conquered a significant amount French territory during his triumphant reign--most of which is lost during the course of the present drama. The three Henry VI plays, together with Richard III, form a tetralogy that thematically chronicles the disintegration of British dominance, the infighting that ensues, resulting in civil war (The War of the Roses). The tension between chaos and order is paramount. According to most scholarship, Shakespeare wrote the first of the three parts between 1589 and 1590. It was performed first on March 3, 1592 at the Rose Theater. Diaries indicate that it was performed 14 more times before the theaters were closed that season because of an outbreak of plague. Early Shakespeareans were hesitant to attribute HENRY VI, PART 1 to Shakespeare, particularly because of the crude portrayal of Joan of Arc, although it was included in the FIRST FOLIO, 1623; thus there is much speculation regarding this topic. The action begins at the funeral of Henry V, where the Duke of Gloucester and the Bishop of Winchester engage in a disruptive argument about the control of the young King Henry VI. Two messengers, one bringing word of English military losses in France, and a second reporting a French rebellion subsequently interfere with the funeral ceremony. In violation of a previous treaty, Charles Dauphin has been crowned King of France, and motivated the Bastard of Orleance and the Duke of Alanson behind him. A third messenger tells of the capture of the hero Talbot due to the coward Falstaff. Reinforcements are sent to assist the Earl of Salisbury, who leads AUTHOR: Randall Martin, William Shakespeare
