Prometheus’s Struggles

Abstract

On March, 11, 1937 the Polish Radio broadcasted the radio play based on Aeschylus’s tragedy titled Prometheus bound. Stefan Srebrny, the professor at the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius at the time, was responsible for this radio play. He was a well-known academic and translator. While preparing for the radio play he used the translation given by Jan Kasprowicz, one of the greatest Polish poet at the turn of the 20th century. The recording did not survive the World War II, but we still have the translation by Kasprowicz on which Srebrny made notes while preparing the radio play which gives us at least some insight both on the radio play itself and the work of an academic and translator who had to struggle with the legend of the one of the greatest poets.
