Prometheus Illbound
André Gide
Read by Peter Tucker





There is a witty and absurdist character to this contemporary setting of the plight of Prometheus, in which Zeus appears as a tremendously wealthy banker, meting out gratuitous fortune. Prometheus' troubled relationship with his liver-devouring eagle provides a means of insight for those he encounters. Rather than a myth the story has the nature of a fable. ( Peter Tucker) (1 hr 23 min)

Reviews
weirdly interesting





Shelly
A story questioning whether it is possible to do a gratuitous act and what the result will be . Lots of examples of causes and effects. Helps to have a knowledge of the original myth . I found it weird, thought provoking and entertaining with some nice flashes of humour. The reading is excellent.
well done
