MAIA

Enough of that, my lad. You must do everything your father wants. You’re still a youngster. Off with you now to Argos, as you were told, and then to Boeotia, or you may get a whipping for dawdling. Lovers have sharp tempers.

Prometheus and Zeus

PROMETHEUS

Free me, Zeus. I’ve suffered terribly already.

ZEUS

I’m to free you, am I? You ought to have had heavier chains, and all of Caucasus on your head, and a whole sixteen vultures to tear at your liver, and dig your eyes out too, for making such creatures as humans to plague us, and stealing fire and producing women. Cf. Hesiod, Theogony, 560 ff. For need I mention how you tricked me in serving out the meat, by serving me with hones wrapped in fat, and keeping the better portion for yourself? Cf. ibid. 637 ff.

PROMETHEUS

Well, haven’t I already been punished enough for that, nailed all this time to Caucasus, with that accursed eagle feeding on my liver?

ZEUS

That’s not the tiniest fraction of what you deserve.

PROMETHEUS

But you shall have your reward for my freedom. I’ll give you some very vital information, Zeus.

ZEUS

You’re trying to trick me, Prometheus.

PROMETHEUS

What good will that do me? You’ll still know where Caucasus is, and still have plenty of chains left, if I’m caught up to any tricks.

ZEUS

Tell me first what is this vital reward I’ll have from you? 5
