Who may have written "Prometheus Bound"?

  • Sophocles

  • Euripides

  • Euphorion

  • Plato

Answer

Euphorion, the son of Aeschylus, is often credited as the author of "Prometheus Bound." This attribution is based on circumstantial evidence, such as the play's inclusion in the Alexandrian canon of Aeschylus' works and the stylistic similarities between "Prometheus Bound" and other Aeschylean tragedies.
