André Gide: The badly bound Prometheus
The French writer André Gide wrote a play (»Sotie«) on the Prometheus myth, in which literally no stone is left unturned. Throughout literary history, the figure of Prometheus has been interpreted in different ways: In ancient times, he was regarded as the originator of human civilization and the one who brought fire. For some, Prometheus became an allegory of progress, while others saw him as the embodiment of boundless, god-like power that went beyond the limits of humanity. Gide also explored classical antiquity beyond Prometheus: in 1931, for example, he wrote the drama »Œdipe«.
