[Chorus- And because of these guilts Zeus…]Prometheus- …punishes me, and does not free me in any way.Ch- Has an end been set for your punishment or not?Pr- No one, except for when it seems right to him.Ch- But how will it seem right to him? What hope do you have? Do you not see that you have erred? That you have erred is not a pleasure for me to say, for you, instead, is a pain. But now let us abandon these matters, search a liberation from your pain.Pr- It is easy for he who has his foot out of the pains to give advice and warn the one who is in trouble. I knew all the consequences of my actions: willingly, willingly I erred.Aeschylus, Prometheus bound (I, vv 256-261) -- source link
