* TitanomachyRoundTwo: The imprisoned Titan Prometheus knowing a prophecy that will lead to Zeus's downfall, is the only surviving part of what was once a trilogy. It is known that its sequel, ''Prometheus Unbound'', is about Heracles freeing Prometheus, and the GreekChorus was composed of fellow freed Titans. However, there is so little information surviving about the third play ''Prometheus the Fire-Bringer'' that historians are unsure whether it is a sequel (depicting Prometheus helping Zeus avert the prophecy and reconciling with him) or a prequel (depicting the original story of Prometheus bringing fire to mankind).

The play draws from the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology myth]] of the titan Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus for giving fire (and, in this version, culture) to humankind. The play begins with Prometheus being chained to his rock, where he remains for the duration while various characters come to visit and hold conversations with him, during which Prometheus prophesies about their futures and that of Zeus.
