Robert Lowell's adaptation of "Prometheus Bound" (derived from Aeschylus) was first published in "The New York Review of Books" on July 13, 1967, before being published in book form by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1969. Lowell used an existing literal translation rather than translating from the ancient Greek, keeping the core plot and structure of Aeschylus intact while writing in prose instead of verse. By shifting to prose, Lowell toned down traditional poetic grandiloquence to make the speeches feel more direct, austere, and psychologically raw. He avoided modern-day gimmicks—there are no political caricatures, no contemporary military gear, and no anachronistic slang. Lowell noted that his own anxieties and the political tensions of his era naturally "seep in" through the tone and idiom of the dialogue. …

"In 1965 Lowell protested the Vietnam War by publicly refusing President Johnson's invitation to a White House Festival of the Arts, just as he had declined the draft twenty-two years before. [Lowell served five months in West Street jail, in New York, and federal prison at Danbury, Connecticut, after refusing to serve in the army when he was inducted in 1943.] Again there was a brouhaha, and again Lowell briefly became a public figure, admired by war protesters and reviled by war supporters. He spent the next years actively involved in anti-war protests, such as the 1967 March on the Pentagon, and in aiding Senator Eugene McCarthy's 1968 Presidential candidacy. Lowell also published a series of anti-war works," including this translation. (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.
