RATOS:) all things are a burden save to rule Over the Gods; for none is free but Zeus.

(P) I planted blind hope in the heart of him. (CH) A mighty boon thou gavest there to man. (P) Moreover, I conferred the gift of fire.
Πᾶσαι τέχναι βροτοῖσιν ἐκ Προμηθέως
49-50 (Κράτος) ἅπαντ΄ ἐπαχθῆ πλὴν θεοῖσι κοιρανεῖν. ἐλεύθερος γὰρ οὔτις ἐστὶ πλὴν Διός.
246-270 (Πρ.) καὶ μὴν φίλοις ἐλεινὸς εἰσορᾶν ἐγώ.
(Χο.) μή πού τι προύβης τῶνδε καὶ περαιτέρω;
(Πρ.) θνητούς γ΄ ἔπαυσα μὴ προδέρκεσθαι μόρον.
(Χο.) τὸ ποῖον εὑρὼν τῆσδε φάρμακον νόσου;
(Πρ.) τυφλὰς ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐλπίδας κατῴκισα.
(Χο.) μέγ΄ ὠφέλημα τοῦτ΄ ἐδωρήσω βροτοῖς.
(Πρ.) πρὸς τοῖσδε μέντοι πῦρ ἐγώ σφιν ὤπασα.
