Από τον Προμηθέα Λυόμενο
Πέρσι Σέλλεϋ, 1820
Shelley's verse drama of the Titan who stole fire and refused to kneel. Tyranny, endurance and the earth itself speaking back.
Πέρσι Σέλλεϋ
Shelley never saw Prometheus Unbound staged; he called it a poem of the mind. Its Greek translation by the Ionian poet Lorentzos Mavilis appeared posthumously in 1915.
Feels like defiance, power and awe.
He dares the tyrant to empty every wound and plague on him at once.
Πονηρέ, σ’ ἀψηφῶ! μ’ ἤσυχο νοῦ προσηλωμένοςσὲ προκαλῶ γιὰ τὸ κακό μου, ὅ,τι μπορεῖς, νὰ πράξῃς·τύραννε ἀχρεῖε καὶ στῶν θεῶν καὶ τῶν θνητῶν τὸ γένος,μόνη μιὰν ὕπαρξη ποτὲ δὲ μέλλεις νὰ ὑποτάξῃς.Τὲς πληγές σου λοιπὸν ἄδειασ’ ἐπάνω μου βροχή,ἀνάκουστες ἀρρώστιες, ξεφρενιάστρα ταραχή,καὶ κάμε νὰ μὲ κατατρῶν μ’ ἀδιάκοπη ἀλλαγὴπότε στιὰ πότε πάχνη, καὶ ἡ δική σου ἂς γίνῃ ὀργὴἀστροπελέκι, ἀψὺ χαλάζι κ’ Ἐριννύων ἀσκέριαποῦ νὰ περνοῦν λαβόνοντάς με ἐπάνω στ’ ἀγριοκαίρια.
