Prometheus Unbound; a lyrical drama in four acts
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Prometheus Unbound is a four-act play by Percy Bysshe Shelley first published in 1820. It is inspired by Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound and concerns Prometheus' release from captivity. However, unlike Aeschylus' version, there is no reconciliation between Prometheus and Zeus in Shelley's narrative. Shelley's play is closet drama, meaning it was not intended to be produced on the stage.
