Answer:
Reason vs. Power
Explanation:
One of the great themes of Prometheus Bound is the frustration and helplessness of reason and rightness in the face of sheer power. Aeschylus hammers the theme home by having Prometheus chained by two demonic forces with allegorical names. Violence, appropriately, is mute, and in many productions Violence is played as a kind of beast. Might is a ruthless, pitiless deity, without any will of his own. He is the fist of Zeus: cold, cruel, the institution of tyranny personified. Viewing Prometheus as reason, we see the play as partly the story of reason's tragic limits, and its helplessness in the face of brutal, unthinking force.
